Take Only Photographs, Leave Only Footprints

Take Only Photographs, Leave Only Footprints (2016)

ISBN 978-0-9955055-0-6

The first graphic novel by Frisson Comics co-founders Tom Smith and Katie Whittle. The story was based upon a real life event that happened to the pair after they unwittingly took barnacles they thought were dead home only to discover later on that they were very much alive. It is a horror inflected fable with surreal horror in the vein of Junji Ito who was and continues to be a massive influence on the pair. Katie opted for a deliberately hand-drawn almost amateurish illustration style with moon-faced characters resembling something of the work of Raymond Briggs to enhance the audiences empathy with the characters once things start to go awry.
The comic was published in June 2016 after being funded through a Kickstarter Campaign.
