Side non-fiction comics: Scenes from the Shakespeare controversy.

With the comic in progress, “The Real Capello”, I’m using the excuse of revisiting the history of the author of the fictional play “The Duke in the Shadows” to comment on / parody some conspiracy theories around the figure of Shakespeare. (The Duke in the Shadows comic, after all, was inspired by the superstitions behind the play Macbeth) As I said in Discord, more than the theories themselves, it’s the history of this frenzy to find secret authors behind the work that I find fascinating. So I thought I’d add some “side notes”, about this crazy centuries-long story… which ended up becoming a side comic, in this case a non-fiction comic, which I’ll be sharing in installments as exclusive Patreon content. I hope you like this idea!

New Comic – Finished – How to step out of the picture

Note: it seems Patreon no longer allows inline pictures in a text post, so I’m sharing it as a gallery of images instead. I hope it’s not too cumbersome to read this way, over the next days the comic will be available as a scroll comic on my website, I’ll let you know.

After a few days of drawing station details and passersby in the final panels, here it is! I hope you like it. Let me know in the comments. This is being shared here on Patreon a couple of says prior to general release. Thank you!!
