The resident witch on a cursed, windswept island finds what appears to be an orphan lurking in a Gothic manor. On an island nearly overrun with orphans – and monsters – this isn’t all that unusual, but something about Salamandra seems…different. Thus begins Hopeless, Maine: Personal Demons, a graphic novel created by husband and wife team Tom and Nimue Brown. I managed to grab Tom for a few minutes to answer some very brief questions about this fascinating story.
