The Halcyon Years “Sleeping Dark Things” – (2001)

Published by NEAL VON FLUE on November 24, 2012 | Leave a response

The Halcyon Years was a series of short infinite canvas comics, some of which included early experiments with interactive elements.

This installment was a typical vertical scroller, but it was constructed in reverse like the previous HY installment “Go Figure”.

I came across some lovely photos at abandoned-places.com and started to use Poser to constructs scenes with skeletons in them. Each one was built with no particular idea in mind, and after about 10 of them I set out to tie them into a narrative. I had to make a few more in order to fill in gaps and then (after getting permission to use the original photos) built it into a comic.

Also, this later became a Synesthesia Drive-In installment with the addition of a musical translation by Nichlaus Von Hulsebus. The song is posted with the comic.

You can read the comic here.

Hypercomics.net began years ago in the golden age of webcomic creation. Back then, in the primordial bubbling ooze of the internet, the site was dedicated to formalism and experimentation in a digital environment. It has been a portfolio, a collective showcase, and a group blog, all dedicated to raising the awareness of online storytelling and multiple-path narration. This recent incarnation finds hypercomics.net working as a repository for the work of it’s founder, Neal Von Flue.
