He starts in the 1700s (or perhaps the 1600s it’s a bit unclear) and ends in the modern day, and each panel shows a moment in the characters’ lives, until their lives end and their child takes over the panel. In One Line, he creates 18 different characters, one for each panel, and follows their descendants over several hundred years (after a brief prologue that takes place in the Stone Age). He uses a nine-panel grid – really two nine-panel grids on facing pages – to tell several different stories. Let’s take a look at it, shall we?įawkes does something similar in his most critically acclaimed books – One Soul and The People Inside – that he does in this one. “And though we never found the key behind it all, I think we came to know the meaning of the fall”Įvery once in a while, Ray Fawkes does a graphic novel all by himself, as opposed to simply writing a comic, and I get them because they’re usually interesting, and so I picked up One Line, his latest book, which is published by Oni.
