Third year student Tomi Varga publishes ZOE
Digital comics are nothing new but having one published by one of our own third years students is. Tomi Varga an international student from Hungary is the artist behind ZOE, a new digital comic available through Comixology.
Sixteen year-old Zoe Thomas wants to be like every other girl her age and not part of an elite group of assassins called The Fifteen. When she tries to leave the secret organization that has trained her and held her captive - things get interesting. As her past (and a squad of assassins) catches up with her it's time to break out the guns, and all the deadly skills she so desperately wants to leave behind.
Created by Hungarian writer Otto Szentgyorgyi and entirely hand-painted in acrylics by his countryman, artist Tomi Varga, ZOE is an intriguing story of survival in the dark world of international espionage
The first issue is available now and the second issue goes on sale November 12th.
