Some time over a whole year ago (wow, I can't believe it was a year, actually), I drew this comic. I think it was even
before Wicked came to Melbourne, just after I'd read the book for the first time.
A scene from the book stuck in my head, so I turned it into a comic.
It's pretty old and manky but I thought that someone might get a bit of enjoyment out of it, rather than just erasing it from my harddrive.
Anyway,
It's pretty much a word for word comic adaptation of the scene just before Boq and the gang go to the Philosophy Club, and just before Glinda and Elphaba head off to the Emerald City. Erm, the script is also not accurate, because I did it from memory.
Oh yeah, importantly!! I always picture them taking a train to the Emerald City, even though it
specifically says it is impossible because the railroad wasn't built yet. Go figure.
Title: The Turning Point
Rating: G or....2 stars
Length: 9 pages
Characters: Drunk-as-a-skunk Glinda, Elphaba and a Boq that looks nothing like Boq. A couple of silhouettes that could be other people if you squint.
