Ariel 51 is a long form sci-fi adventure comic about Ariel Ackley, a girl struggling with loss and her journey to strange new places. I’ve always loved the sci-fi genre since Star Wars blew my mind as a kid and I’ve wanted to do my own story in that genre for a long time. My first foray into comics was called Tripp, a sort of hybrid gag-a-day strip with a longform story. After doing a couple gag strips where the comics were all one-offs (www.pepperminthelmet.com and www.cautionarycomic.com) I really found myself missing telling stories. Thus, Ariel 51 was born.
