HINABN was a big hit in DeviantART around 2010 (Homestuck levels? Lackadaisy? TF2 Tumblr fanart? It was big), but unfortunately was discontinued by the author, Tess Stone. I have no idea what made him drop the story, but seems like most of the fandom is as clueless as I am. I still miss the series and hope for some closure, eventually.
It completely blew my mind at the time, changing my standards on visual expression and how to tell stories. Tess does so much with negative space, color and typography. It was wild. ♥
For short, the story is about a freelance paranormal investigator and the people he finds along the way. Most of them happen to be some sort of supernatural being.
Tess Stone’s beautiful and dynamic style made HINABN one of my all-time fav comics. Nowadays he has other comics such as Not Drunk Enough and Seen Nothing Yet, a 18+ erotica comic about two amateur ghost hunters.
And you can check the author’s current projects here.

My HINABN Art
I still have heartache whenever re-visiting this story, so I decided to put up a special post with all my HINABN art.
The main characters
Green zombie guy has no name at all. So people call him zombie guy, dead man or rotted corpse. He has the best hairdo among zombies and living people as well. And I’m pretty sure he sings like Dave Vanian, from The Damned.
There’s Hanna, a hyperactive lad who happens to be a paranormal investigator.
Conrad Achenleck, an anxious vampire.
Toni! (the badass, blue-haired werewolf lady), Ples Tibenoch (a tormented android or cyborg) and Doc Worth, seen below.
’tis doc Worth. He isn’t exactly a doctor, but you’d better call him so or he’ll prolly inject his own spit into your carotid.
The other guy down there isn’t worth mentioning. (wait, did I make a pun? Anyway, it’s just Contad again.)
