Lords of Death and Life

The comic scrolls downward in the panel below. It's like a codex or something I guess. This page may take a while to load, sorry.
If my crazy format doesn't fit on your monitor, try opening it in this pop-up window.

Ours is not the only culture to have combined words and pictures to tell stories with drama and depth. This story is my take on the comics potential of Aztec (or Mexica) and Mayan cosmology and culture. Imagine a world with powerful empires, huge cities built on trade, and three thousand years of remembered history, but where even the wheel doesn't exist. A world where heroes step in and out of legend and magicians transform themselves at will. Mol Kupul lives in this world. He is a man plagued with visions of his own destruction, torn between death and life.

This is the third online incarnation of Lords of Death and Life. The first two incarnations failed to live up to my own expectations and were abandoned part way through, but like some of its key characters, this comic could not stay dead forever. Now you can read it in its entirety from beginning to end.
