PAGE ONE

PANEL ONE: Meet Dylan Croft, a young red-headed man who wears a ponytail and dresses like a thrift store pirate. He smiles at the audience.

NARR:
My name is Dylan Croft. I live in Prince Edward Island. This is my story.

PANEL TWO: A picturesque aerial shot of Coven Cove.

NARR:
First, let me tell you about the town I live in. It was founded in 1785, a while after the first settlers came here.

PANEL THREE: An antique photo of the town’s founders, dressed in 1785 garb. However, they’re all smiling. They are holding a painted sign that says “TOWN COUNCIL.” and the bottom of the picture frame is labeled “Our Founders.” There should be an equal number of men and women.

NARR:
But what makes it special is that the town founders were witches. Yup. All of them.

PANEL FOUR: An antique photo of people stepping off a small sailing ship onto the dock at Coven Cove, 1745.

NARR:
They’d come fleeing persecution for witchcraft; that horrible business in Salem, Massachusetts may have come and gone, but anti-witch sentiment was still high.

PANEL FIVE: The town founders holding a ritual around a bonfire. One of them holds what looks like a book of magic, and is reading aloud from it; the others all seem to be chanting with arms raised.

NARR:
So they decided to found a town where not only was practicing witchcraft allowed, but respected.

PANEL SIX: A picturesque sign, freshly painted and with old world charm, that reads “Welcome to Coven Cove.”

NARR:
And they named it, quite appropriately, “Coven Cove.”

YELLOW LANTERN 2: “What is Joy?”

As a fan of DC Comics’ Green Lantern, I’ve always been fascinated by their interpretation of the colour spectrum and the emotional resonance that each colour has.

But I started to think: Since there are more than seven human emotions, surely there’s room for other interpretations of the colours? After all, the very nature of a spectrum is that there are levels– gradients of colour.

To me, Yellow is JOY. It’s a colour that sparks joy in me, and I wanted very much to make a character with a yellow power ring for whom joy was the focus.

I made the character of Yellow Lantern, a fan fiction version of DC’s Lantern mythology, to explore that. Please enjoy the second instalment of Yellow Lantern: “What is Joy?”
