| About a month ago I picked up a few pages of Ella Cinders comic strips from the Dallas Morning News of 1927. They're lovely comics - very nicely drawn and wittily written. Ella Cinders immediately comes across as a strong and sassy girl who makes her own unique way through the world as an underdog that constantly comes out on top thanks to a quick mind and a not bad right hook (if required). |

| "The characters are real, the setting is authentic, and this opening chapter hints at many plot strands. It's got depth, charm and real polish." - TRS2
"..the story is a thoroughly charming slice of nostalgia-tinged British adventurism." - Unified Review Theory
"..a genuine joy to read.." - The Real Mainstream
"It is not just ambitious but it works and with élan. The different levels of the story and their attendant styles lend a tremendous feeling of depth to the whole book.." - Zum

| Behind the scenes |
| See the creative process that is used to get The Rainbow Orchid from the imagination to the page, from script and sketches to inks and colouring.
"A good comic strip is perfect economic story-telling; a panel is not just a pretty picture, but story in action, whether that story is being told through Julius Chancer running through the jungle or the expression on Lily Lawrence's face. Every line conveys information.."
