Webcomics: Emma Oosterhous

Magic Arcade

Each student’s work is released in four instalments over four weeks. Check back next Friday to read the following parts.

Inspiration

Magic Arcade is the story of three adventurers. Or, rather, the end of their story. After years of slaying beasts and seducing their way out of trouble, Harriet, Gemma and Wendell have finally reached the Magic Arcade, where one final test lies between them and a mysterious Magic Prize.

Will they conquer the Magic Claw Machine and discover what’s inside? Or will they fall at the final hurdle?
