Character biography’s :

”The captive” is a semi-serious who walks through the facility with a slightly jokey attitude while still keeping his fear of being caught apparent.

“Head key keeper” this is the man who interrogates the captive in the beginning of the story, his intelligence is questioned multiple times and so are most of his actions, he jumps from stupid and lovable to crazy and psychotic in a moment’s notice.

“Dave” one of the henchmen in charge of the medieval club, he is cheery and doesn’t seem as evil as most other henchmen.

“The henchmen” all of the henchmen don’t have a face, name or personality; they’re all relatively the same. Their happy, goofy and dim-witted and don’t really contribute to the story line other than working in the background and getting killed.

Statement of intent: The idea for the comic first came to me when I was having a conversation with a friend of mine comparing my high school to being held “captive” and my friend turned to me pointing at a window saying “yep this is one messed up prison” with two people in the window doing karaoke to “don’t stop believing”, I really wanted to tell the story of the image in my head that day because it made me laugh so hard back then. The comic is aimed at 18+ because of its graphic nature and swearing.
