About the Comic

“Lost in the Vale” is truly a collaboration of husband and wife team Alan and Crystal Curtis. Crystal has slowly developed the idea since 2006, quietly inventing the world of Andalusia and its characters with a single story in mind – the story of Delica Tinderfield (“Tinder”) and her lost love, Christian, the young Prince of Andalusia.

When she was finally confident enough in her ideas and abilities to start on the webcomic, Crystal enlisted the help of her husband, artist and writer Alan Curtis, to flesh out the story and help mold her details in to a broader, richer history.
