As a graphic design major and lifetime comic book fan, I have long been fascinated with graphic novels and have always wanted to create my own. This reflection explores the inspiration, research, process, and completion of a graphic novel as my University Honors Thesis, focusing on the conception and execution of the project. First, I will explore the inspiration, influences, back story, and research that went into the creation of this graphic novel. Second, I will reflect on the process of writing the script, developing the characters, and drawing the novel.
