Description

This striking double-page splash features Cole Turner, an agent of the Department of Truth, and Dr. Dalton Hynes, an eccentric conspiracy theorist, standing before a wall covered in documents, photographs, and red strings — a classic visual metaphor for the spread of conspiracy theories.

Dr. Hynes, wearing his signature tinfoil hat, represents paranoia and the blurry line between madness and truth. Opposite him, Cole embodies a rational effort to understand and control reality in a world where belief shapes fact.

This page captures the core of the series: the struggle between truth, lies, and the power of collective perception.

Did Simmonds actually use tin foil for the hat? A very cool conspiracy theory wall. It's something that has to be planned out and put together with thought to feel authentic.

Yes, Simmonds actually used thin aluminum foil for the hat! The red sturdy lines aren’t drawn — they’re made from real thread that’s been glued in place. It’s a true mixed media piece. In person, it looks fantastic — a real work of art, with so much thought and care put into the details. Definitely gives off that authentic conspiracy wall vibe, but with a creative and artistic twist.
