Aperture

By Avi Heikkinen

Jamo is a loser. Divorced and penniless, he lives his life as a small-time crook when he chances upon a camera that can be used to shoot the past. Struggling to forgive himself for the mistakes he has made in his life, Jamo uses the camera to search for a young woman who has recently gone missing. Finding unlikely allies in a half-deaf ex-policeman and a sarcastic AI-enhanced pig plush toy, Jamo uncovers secrets that will forever change his life.

Aperture is a unique photo comic shot entirely on location and post-processed into a mind-bending graphic novel which pushes the boundaries of the medium. It is a buddy-cop adventure with a sci-fi twist that is sure to resonate with anyone who has ever wished they could change the past.
