30 DAYS OF NIGHT ALUMNI INVITES US TO THE NOT-SO-SLEEPY TOWN OF GREY OAKS

Justin Randall invites us into the beautifully disturbing town of Grey Oaks with the solicitation of Changing Ways in the February edition of Diamond Comics Previews catalogue.

Changing Ways conveys the intimacy and heartache of a family struggling to survive in a world that’s falling apart. Randall was focused on delivering a story that people could relate to from the outset.

“I wanted to create a story that, despite the cataclysmic events going on in the outside world, you could really just focus on the intimate moments of a small family,” he said.

Synopsis:
David Barrot, a retired Corrections Officer, moved to Grey Oaks after the tragic death of his son, Cale.

With wife Lucy and daughter Jessie, the Barrot family bought a farm on the outskirts of town and began their new life, putting aside all the dark events of their past.

Unfortunately for them, the dark just won’t leave David alone.

The first sightings started months ago, igniting rumours of disease and infection. Newspapers reported unusual lesions appearing on livestock and stories of strange side effects spread quickly. Perhaps it was inevitable that the people of Grey Oaks would be next.

These are their Changing Ways.

Justin Randall is a Lecturer in Digital Illustration for Curtin University in Western Australia, and an internationally published graphic novelist and commercial artist.
