Graphic Novels
The main tool of a storyteller is neither their words, nor their gestures, nor their voice – but their imagination. All the other tools serve to translate imagination into something transmissible. Ben is a graphic novelist and script-writer. He works with some tremendous illustrators and artists to produce striking graphic novels and comic strips.
Ben’s debut graphic novel series, Mezolith, is an extraordinary exploration of the archaeology of the imagination.
This cycle of stone-age stories of magic, horror, enchantment,and families, is written in words and pictures by Ben, with beautiful illustrations by Adam Brockbank (concept artist for X-men, Troy & the Harry Potter film series). Set 10,000 years ago, before Britain was an island, it plays with the stories our ancestors might have shared. It was one of The Times Newspaper’s ‘Graphic Novel of the Year 2010’. Mezolith (volumes 1 & 2) have been published in the UK, USA and across Europe.
