Carrie Hartnoll
is a girl going nowhere fast, until a chance encounter with an ex-boyfriend
affords her the opportunity of a new career in Ivy League America, working as
part of a research team attempting to resurrect the language of Babel, a
language that can be understood by any human, from anywhere in the world. As
Carrie pieces together her fractured life, she becomes embroiled in the mystery
surrounding the apparent suicide of the project's original team leader, which
propels her to uncover the horrific truth about the language and why it was
written out of the history books.
Babble is a smart,
stylish, character-driven thriller about the ultimate communication breakdown.
It’s a slow build to a fantastic climax.

Coyle makes terrific use of flashbacks and flash-forwards. It’s very subtle
using only two different colors to differentiate what period of time is taking
place in the story; brownish-oranges for the gritty present day and cool blues
for the past. The art style itself is beautiful to look at, and Coyle excels at
going from dialogue heavy scenes to action shots in the drop of a hat.
NOTE: I'm not a professional grader, I collected
comics as a HOBBY. I'm selling from my
own collection. All my books are handled with great care, and are boarded,
bagged and stored in a smoke free, air conditioned setting. I do my best to accurately describe all my
items. If you have any questions please
send me a message. I'm more than happy to help!

I ship all
comics with extreme care to ensure safe delivery. Small collections are mailed in a Gemini
comics mailer inside an envelope marked “DO NOT BEND.” SAVAGE DRAGON would have a hard time damaging
your books.
