Throwback Thursday: ‘The Wolf’ by Kimberleigh Smithbower Roseblade and JM Landels

Into the Dark Wood

In ‘The Wolf’, poet Kimberleigh Smithbower Roseblade and illustrator JM Landels offer light and hope to those living with chronic illness.

As Kimberleigh tells us, “The wolf is not always a creature that bites on my heels, but sometimes it is my great teacher that runs alongside me as part of my pack.”

We are delighted to share with you the entrancing first two pages, excerpted here from Issue 4, Autumn 2014, on sale now!

Kimberleigh Smithbower Roseblade has one of the most interesting and longest last names you may come across. She considers herself to be one of those dreamers and doers that sees her glass as half full as opposed to half empty. Her heart beats to the rhythms of martial arts, music making, slam poetry, and any activity that gets her feet (and the rest of her) wet and her blood pumping. 

JM Landels studied at the Cartoon Centre in London, UK under David Lloyd (V for Vendetta) and Dougie Braithwaite (Punisher). Although she is a perennial doodler, she put down her pencils and brushes after giving birth to three children, and has only recently dusted them off. ‘The Wolf’ is the first sequential art story she has drawn and inked since 1995.
