The first day at a new school is always the hardest --

And Gina hasn’t even managed to make it to class yet. Her computer has been possessed by an other-dimensional warlord building a bridge to carry his army of synthetic demons to Earth. Desperate to stop him, Gina and her friends fight their way through cyberspace wonderlands only to find that the invasion has already spilled out into the real world – all because Gina believed in the wrong person.

Gina’s World is an action-adventure story set everywhere from Gina’s dorm room in Dublin to Feudal Japan, with stops in post-apocalyptic Earth and a Bond-style villain’s fortress.

 

Gina's World has been part of my life for over a decade. It's the kind of book I'd want to read myself. It's not a costumed superhero story, but it draws on that same sense of the fantastic that has made superheroes and comics such a great fit.

 

The Gina Diary:

Since the beginning I wanted to make it the best book I could make -- but on reflection, I wanted to make it a better book than I could make. I've burned whole scenes (pencilled, inked, and letters) because they didn't work in the context of the larger work. I've thrown out 75 pages of penciled art because it wasn't good enough .
