  • Silverfin: the Graphic Novel Charlie Higson & Kev Walker

    Silverfin: the Graphic Novel Charlie Higson & Kev Walker

    Teacher’s Notes Written by Meghan Brunet Silverfin: the Graphic Novel Charlie Higson & Kev Walker “There’s something slithering in the water at Loch Silverfin… Something deadly. Something that must be kept secret…” Introduction Before the name became a legend - before the boy became a man - James Bond was just another student beginning his first day at Eton College. Despite being nervous and shy, James manages to make an enemy within the first hour. An enemy who will follow him from the playing fields to the remote shores of Loch Silverfin, where a terrifying new breed of warfare threatens to unleash destruction on the world. Silverfin: The Graphic Novel is an ideal text with which to introduce the graphic novel genre to a junior or middle secondary English class. Written and adapted by Charlie Higson and Kev Walker, the book presents the first of the “Young Bond” graphic novels, adapted from the prose bestseller and chronicling the early years of Britain’s most infamous spy. Written in three parts, Charlie Higson gives young readers the chance to not only enjoy the story of a typically curious and adventurous boy but also to witness the making of the world’s greatest spy, Agent 007. Dramatic foreshadowing is evident in all aspects of the novel – the British and Scottish settings, the quirky sidekicks, the smart and surprising female, the family history of adrenalin-sports and espionage and of course James’ own disregard for rules and relationships. Kev Walker (who has also worked for DC Comics, Marvel and Dark Horse Comics) is a brilliant addition to the team, creating a world for young James Bond that is full of misty Lochs, rolling Scottish hills, polished College halls and underground experimental laboratories shrouded in green light and secrecy.

It’s still a bargain when you stop to think that a regular commercial module, purchased separately, would cost even more than that—and for your three bucks, you’re getting a whole lot of magazine besides. It should be pointed out that subscribers can still get a year’s worth of TD for only $2 per issue. Hint, hint . And now, on to the good news.

  • Sorcerer Golden Eyes �Lashing, a Human Stretches out Her Hand and Unleashes the Dragon�Ire That Burns in Her Veins

    Sorcerer Golden Eyes Lashing, a Human Stretches out Her Hand and Unleashes the DragonIre That Burns in Her Veins

    Sorcerer Golden eyes lashing, a human stretches out her hand and unleashes the dragonire that burns in her veins. As an inferno rages around her foes, leathery wings spread from her back and she takes to the air. Long hair whipped by a conjured wind, a half-elf spreads his arms wide and throws his head back. Lifting him momentarily off the ground, a wave of magic surges up in him, through him, and out from him in a mighty blast of lightning. Crouching behind a stalagmite, a halling points a inger at a charging troglodyte. A blast of ire springs from her inger to strike the creature. She ducks back behind the rock formation with a grin, unaware that her wild magic has turned her skin bright blue. Sorcerers carry a magical birthright conferred upon them by an exotic bloodline, some otherworldly inluence, or exposure to unknown cosmic forces. One can't study sorcery as one learns a language, any more than one can learn to live a legendary life. No one chooses sorcery; the power chooses the sorcerer. Innate Magic Magic is a part of every sorcerer, suffusing body, mind, and spirit with a latent power that waits to be tapped. Some sorcerers wield magic that springs from an ancient bloodline infused with the magic of dragons. Others carry a raw, uncontrolled magic within them, a chaotic storm that manifests in unexpected ways. The appearance of sorcerous powers is wildly unpredictable. Some draconic bloodlines produce exactly one sorcerer in every generation, but in other lines of descent every individual is a sorcerer.
