Broken Frontier

Com.x. has acquired the publication rights for a new graphic novel, entitled Babble. Written by Lee Robson and illustrated by Bryan Coyle, Babble was originally slated for release by Insomnia Publications, before the company’s demise last year.

Carrie Hartnoll is a girl lost in a life going nowhere fast, until a chance encounter with an ex-boyfriend affords her the opportunity of a whole new career in Ivy League America, working as part of a research team attempting to resurrect the language of Babel - a language, it is theorised, that can be understood by any human, from anywhere in the world.

As Carrie pieces together her fractured personal life, she becomes embroiled in the mystery surrounding the apparent suicide of the project's original team leader, which propels her to uncover the horrific truth about the language and why it was written out of the history books...
