High Brows and Themes

Something I've been giving a lot of thought to since I got back from Birmingham is the high-brow concept of my comic. It was blatantly clear from my pitch that I hadn't given much thought to it up until that point so I've been trying to make up for it. This morning, while commenting on someone's blog (someone who asked me about Chaos Knot), I had a moment of inspiration about my concept so here it is:

Someone or something is turning people into random animals and it's the job of Fray, Jill and Jack to find out who and why. So in Hollywood terms, it's Colombo meets Alice in Wonderland, with a little Angel thrown in for good measure.

On the subject of themes, I've been thinking along the lines of this being a mystery type of story with Fray's personal discovery of power and responsibility flowing along side it. So for themes at the moment I have power, control, domination and revelation. Still sketchy on those but they're what I'm working with right now.
