Baggage

Embark on a thrilling and hilarious adventure through the wondrous Triptych City with "Baggage," a captivating hardcover comic book by the acclaimed Robin Etherington. Meet Randall, a good-natured but spectacularly accident-prone lost property officer working for the city's bustling tram service. He's the kind of character who could trip over thin air and somehow cause a city-wide blackout and that's putting it mildly! Randall's facing the ultimatum of a lifetime. His perpetually exasperated boss has handed him an impossible task: locate the owner of the oldest, dust-covered, and utterly mysterious item residing within the city's colossal lost property warehouse before the day is out. Fail, and it's the unemployment line for our hapless hero. Thus begins a frantic, sidesplitting race against the clock, leading Randall through the vibrant and eccentric districts of Triptych City. His quest is anything but straightforward, encountering a kaleidoscope of bizarre characters along the way. Prepare to meet unforgettable personalities from quirky inventors with questionable gadgets to shadowy figures lurking in the city's underbelly, each adding a layer of intrigue and humor to Randall's already chaotic journey. As Randall delves deeper into the mystery of the ancient item, he uncovers clues in the most unexpected places, often when he's least prepared for them. Help arrives from the most unlikely allies, testing his resourcefulness and forcing him to rely on the kindness (and sometimes the strangeness) of strangers. But trouble, as it always does, clings to Randall like static electricity. Wherever he goes, chaos erupts, leading to a series of escalating mishaps and near-disasters. Will Randall manage to pull off the impossible and save his job? And even if he succeeds in his mission, what will be left of Triptych City after his whirlwind adventure? "Baggage" is more than just a comic book; it's a charming story about resilience, the power of unexpected friendships, and the hilarious consequences of being in the wrong place at the wrong time. Etherington's dynamic illustrations perfectly capture the energy and quirky charm of Triptych City, making every page a visual delight.
