LINT follows the journey of Sangwine Schloeffle, an exiled elven prince, whose family has been murdered and kingdom usurped by the evil Fang, Overlord of Darkness!
LINT is, and will probably always be, one of my all time favourite comics. I started reading it when it was still in pencil and the fact that it started out from fairly basic artwork and developed into something much more beautiful is a great inspiration. For me it is part of the comics charm and those early drawings should never be replaced.
The plot, too, advanced from a light-hearted adventurers jaunt into a complex, well thought out, emotional experience. Later on the tone becomes more serious, but it still has a sort of tongue-in-cheek irreverence to it. It has made me laugh and it has made me cry. The juxtaposition of humour and drama works to heighten them both. That’s a style I admire and would like to do something similar in my own work.
I’m writing this now because, after five years, the story of LINT is complete. It’s sad, because I will miss reading it, but also wonderful. There is satisfaction in completion. Heaven knows I have experienced the frustration of webcomics that have ended half way through a story! And hopefully the author, Colby Purcell, will go on to create other things.

well, think of it this way. You can go back to the beginning of it and read it through in its entirety and possibly pick up something you missed. I find that reading something once I know how it all turns out helps me to understand it better. For example, knowing what I know about Xylic will make the earlier parts of the story take on a slightly different tone for me. I very much look forward to going back and rereading it. It’s epic and awesome.
Additionally, sinc she’s starting to work on a new comic, that’s also very exiting.

I have re-read Lint from the beginning several times, but, true, never in its entirety. There’s the sccompanying novels as well – Lint is super good for extra content!
Xylic was my favorate character, although choosing between all the pretty men is difficult. Guess I have a thing for Rogues!
Yes Colby is now doing Pygmailion in Space. (linky: https://www.purnicellin.com/pygmalion/ ) I really like the Pygmalion and it’ll be great to see her take on it. I’m sure she’ll do a good job.
