PHIL ELLIOTT MONTH: Comix Reading List #76: Contraband

 76. CONTRABAND penciled by Phil Elliott (MarkosiaKindle




At the time this graphic novel came out it was a complete surprise to me to see a 140 page book from Phil Elliott released. Elliott is no stranger to commercial comics work (DOCTOR WHO, GHOSTBUSTERS, JACK STAFF), and luckily inker Ian Sharman (Markosia Editor-in-chief) and tone artist Cherie Donovan are faithful to his style.



TJ Behe's story spawned two sequels and a screenplay, it's a convoluted near future story of a very real, very dark turn for social media. There are lots of time jumps and dialogue. It all works very well as a comic with Phil Elliott's strong narrative storytelling moving things forward to a twist ending.
