Pied Piper Adaption - Graphic Novel

This is something I made for a university brief. Not my best work by any stretch. We were allocated fairy tales and mythologies and had to adapt them into comic styles. I was given the story of the Pied Piper. I chose to focus on an 'Old Wise' man archetype, who warns the town about the evil to come.

I don't think this character exists per se, but I made him fit into it. I was really inspired by the Spawn animated series and wanted to give it a dark, gritty feel.

I also used an interpretation of this story where the Pied Piper can control and transform into a giant rat, but I think the lack of words makes it simple and open.

I made an animation from this also
