Box Story is a graphic novel about a triangle in a world of boxes. Once, there was harmony between boxes and triangles, but the malevolent King Box has ushered in a new regime seeking to stamp out trianglekind for good.
Box Story
In this 18-page graphic novel, Craig the Triangle is relentlessly pursued by King Box and Prince Box, who seek to bring order to the “Great Box Empire”. Craig is called to adventure by King Box’s rebellious daughter, Princess Box, who seeks to stop her father’s dastardly plot. The heartbroken King Box has vowed to stamp out triangle kind as his heart was broken by a triangle. This is a story of love, loss, power, and friendship—Craig must find a way to melt the King’s cold heart. In addition to the main comic, Box Story is accompanied by a short soundtrack made in the web-based digital audio workspace Ultrabox—with different musical themes representing characters and locations that can be listened to alongside the comic if the reader chooses to do so and will be played at the exhibition.
