The Vessel of Zarell Thorne: Azure #01

Is the first issue in an eight-part adult sci-fi series.

A fully illustrated, full-colour 64-page US-size comic, professionally printed.

• Read the story.   
• Witness the rise of  Zarell Thorne.

Listen to my story. Then you can decide.

Years ago in Essex, England, I witnessed something that shattered my understanding of reality.

Two blinding white spheres hovered silently above a house in the early morning darkness. I stood frozen, watching. Then, without warning, they accelerated toward me at impossible speed. No sound. No shockwave. No explanation.

I hit the living room floor as white light flooded the room and passed over the roof.

That moment never left me.

The Vessel of Zarell Thorne is my way of exploring what that experience opened inside me.

I believe other lifeforms visited Earth long before dinosaurs, shaping us in ways we still cannot fully understand. Evolution alone does not explain everything.

This story pulls real events into fiction, including the UFO incidents of 1947, COVID, Stonehenge, and the President of the United States.

It is a brutal, adult narrative about power, sex, control, secrecy, and human weakness.

Eight comics are fully scripted, and my illustrator is ready to bring them to life.

Step into my mystery.

Thank you,
Paul

Where the Funding Goes

This project has been in development for just under a year. The story is fully written, the world is defined, and the illustrator is ready to begin work immediately.

The funding from this campaign is used primarily to pay the illustrator so the first issue of The Vessel of Zarell Thorne can be fully illustrated and produced to a professional standard.

Backing this project does not fund an idea. It funds execution.

Your support directly turns completed scripts into finished pages.

Backer Recognition

Everyone who backs Issue One will have their name printed in a dedicated backers page inside the comic.

This page is a permanent record of the people who helped bring The Vessel of Zarell Thorne to life.

Your name becomes part of the story’s history.

Comic Printing

Printing costs cover producing the physical comics through a professional printer. This includes proper paper stock and reliable colour reproduction so the finished book holds up as something physical and lasting.

Behind the Project

Our Promise

We will keep backers updated throughout the campaign and production process with regular updates and messages. We are committed to delivering rewards on time and will communicate clearly if anything changes. If you have questions or concerns that are not covered here, you are welcome to reach out. We want participation in this project to be straightforward and transparent.
