This is a world where no one has ever seen a wombat themselves (though the species is not unheard of, merely semi-mythical and rumoured to be extinct).īeing an atheist in the temple of a God can be a bit awkward. When we first meet Digger, she's in the process of accidentally tunnelling into a different world, through sinister, magic-infested caves that induce hallucinations (and which may contain monsters who want to skin her), and out through the floor of a temple dedicated to an elephant God of compassion and peace and stuff. Or so we are told by Digger herself, whom we meet elsewhere. And so Digger - the complete Omnibus Edition is absolutely the best way to read the story.ĭigger is a wombat, from a world where wombatkind live in warrens and where wombats are a no-nonsense, practical and deeply unspiritual species, concerned primarily with feats of civil engineering. Instead, Digger is a long form fantasy epic, told through the medium of a serialised comic strip, almost right from the start. Unlike many webcomics, this was not merely a short strip of cartoon humour. Digger is a graphic novel that started life as a webcomic.
