Emma Hills
Emma is a 23-year-old artist raised in Whitby, Ontario, who specializes in narrative art with a great love for comics. Growing up with an older brother who loved superheroes, Emma was introduced to comics early in life. Storytelling became a big aspect of her life, whether it was Team-Up Marvel comics, campfire stories or being forced to watch slasher films as an arguably too-young child. Story-telling is the driving force of Emma’s work.

This forty-five-page comic is an adaptation of the 1945 radio play by Robert Middlemass, a personal favourite of my grandfather, Jack Mcfadyen.
