If it is just background thoughts and don't really make another true story, then it won't be worth the $$ to ship it to the US. I agree with your comment.

This strikes me as the comic book equivalent of the decoder ring. I wonder how long we have until badmouthing a comic book artist on a forum causes your collection to become illegible.

Anyway...funny how the mind works. Thinking about this graphic novel invariably led my imagination to remember this little gem: Ralphie: Be sure to drink your Ovaltine. Ovaltine? A crummy commercial? Son of a bitch! This looks pretty cool and engaging.

The UV on this page is being entirely used to add predictable "thoughts" to characters. It's like a recaptioning contest. If this is the extent to which the hidden ink reaches, that's just sad. Hopefully they also used the technique for hiding: Objects Stats People Rooms Background More things I can't think of Please tell me this was just a bad example page...

Knowing Ellis and from what's been written about this I'm expecting the UV thread to do something quite interesting with the visible story.
