Dark Lines of London with Stephen Saleh - 05 - Talks beyond time and place

London beyond time and place

TALKS BEYOND TIME AND PLACE – EPISODE FIVE: STEPHEN SALEH Stephen is the author of "Dark Lines of London", a time-travelling, supernatural and historical comic that he wrote together with Tony Lee, with graphic design coming from newcomer Mariela Malova. The story of "Dark Lines of London" is set in two time periods: One story is set in 1589 when Queen Elizabeth I is at the end of her reign and the so-called "School of Night" makes plans for the future of the British Empire. The group consists of Francis Walsingham, his daughter Frances, Sir Walter Raleigh, Christopher Marlowe, Thomas Harriot and of course Doctor John Dee, who is one of the main protagonists of the comic. Stephen Saleh – Dark Lines of London The other story is set in 2019. The English Literatures graduate Sam Carter finds a message in an ancient copy of Dee’s "Monas Hieroglyphica" that warns him of the School of Night’s plans to destroy London in 2020. He finds a way to converse with Doctor Dee in the past and together they plan to save the world. In "Talks beyond time and place", we talk about the comic, John Dee, the ley line from Mile End to Blackheath that Stephen discovered, and Marillion.
