Here is the first part of the new Tom comic. This is part of the Globetrotter game on the German AFD board. An action figure (Tom) is send from member to member. Every member takes some pictures with Tom and his collection or Tom in his hometown. Some members do photo stories with Tom and some do even stop/motion movies. This is Tom’s third visit here. So meanwhile he’s an old friend and actually it was his first visit here that made me start doing action figure comics.
At the moment this comic is only available in German.
