Alice in Wonderland

Lewis Carroll’s Wonderland as a two-volume colour comic — Alice, the White Rabbit, the Caterpillar and the Queen, held recognisable across every panel of both books.

2 volumes, 36 pages, all of them here — click any page to read it at size. I also produced the ElevenLabs voiceover for this title; that audio is not published here yet.

What was hard about this one

Alice is on almost every page, which makes her the hardest kind of character to carry in 2025: any drift in her face or her blue dress is immediately obvious to a child re-reading the book. The Dodo’s caucus race and the croquet ground were the expensive pages — crowds meant many characters had to stay on model at once.

Why the year matters

At the time, no mainstream image model could take a character and reliably produce that same character in a new pose. There was no character reference, no style lock, no consistent-character mode, and generated text was not clean enough to print — which is why every speech bubble here is typeset over the art rather than generated in it.

Today much of that is a solved problem. That is exactly why the work is dated: the interesting part is not that the pages are consistent, it is what consistency cost in 2025 — and that the pipeline built a year later for the Grade-5 science book can now measure that cost instead of quietly absorbing it.
