What is The Barrow Hill?

The Barrow Hill is an original graphic novel following the life of a young girl and the unusual events that surround her.

The story follows the fate of Erika, her fears and dreams, her desire for happiness and her effort to find out more about curious disappearances around her. The more she discovers, the more she feels like the past is just repeating itself.

Join Erika in overcoming the obstacles of life and experience her road to happiness and love.


Who am I?

A freelancing artist as well as a classical archeologist. So far I have been able to (successfully, I believe) combine my love of comics and history both in my own works and in professional cooperation, for example in the form of educational comics.


What is the purpose?

The Barrow Hill has been coming out for two years and so far a half of the story is done. The purpose of this campaign is to collect money which will allow me to finish the story and the art, and publish the work as a book much faster. The final story, which is also being simultaneously released on the web, will be 216 pages long. The book version of the story will include redone page, two new short stories and other bonuses (see rewards).

What do I offer?

An original story of 216 pages, final print including bonus stories, totally comprising 250 pages.

A warm feeling of helping a project that is worth it.

What is needed?

Many things. Firstly, money needs to be collected for the print and distribution of the novel. Some will go towards the drawing and painting, so I can give The Barrow Hill more time. If I don´t need to worry about finances, I will be able to commit myself fully to writing and drawing. At the moment, I am only able to set aside a maximum of two days a week, but more often than not just one.

Complete list of expenses:

-  1300 USD – Fees and taxes (IndieGoGo, PayPal, business tax)

-  2000 USD – Printing expenses

-  1000 USD – Shipping and packaging fees

-  1700 USD – Money for approximately 25 pages of art. These finances will allow me commit at least one more day a week to making the Barrow Hill

Why pay for a webcomic?

Let´s be frank, paper is paper. It can be used for many things besides reading. I can also offer the warm feeling of supporting someone´s dream. For those more materialistic: the paid version will be different from the web version. It will include at least two short comic stories. Some pages will be changed, redone, in short improved.

And who knows, maybe I will be famous one day and my early works will be worth their weight in gold!

Example of changed page (Chapter 01 page 011)


What would I like to do before publishing the comics?

Besides actually finishing the story I would like to improve on a couple of things that would in my opinion improve the reading experience. First and foremost I want to change and partly redo some of the pages that have been already released. I would also like to arrange a professional translation, expand my technical options and as a cherry on top of the cake: publish the entire comic in color! However, many of these aims depend on your help.

List of additional aims:

-  6000 USD – Basic financing

-  6500 USD – Each printed version will include a free poster

-  7500 USD – Additional proofreading

-  9000 USD – Third bonus story

-  11000 USD -  I will have money for Cyntiq and won´t be limited in drawing (i.e. more redone panels and better quality of work)

-  22000 USD – Complete colored version



I would like to support the project but I don´t want to pay

No problem! You can just share this link, vote for the Barrow Hill on Top Web Comics or just write me.

When is it going to be finished?

The expected release date of the complete graphic novel is May 2016. I will be keeping you informed about the progress. Subscribers will also have access to finished pages earlier than the regular readers.
