‘Vertical Vengeance’ is a short story I wrote and illustrated for the Silent Book Competition 2025. It is a purely illustrated 28 page book with no words.
The plot follows a simple man’s journey as he climbs a cliff to enact revenge on a squirrel who dropped an acorn on his head. He faces many challenges along his upward journey including an angry mountain creature and a lightning storm.
Each page was drawn on paper then scanned in. The physical version was Riso printed at the Drop Out Press at full (28.5 x 28.5cm) scale then perfect bound at the Distillers Press.
