Trying Human: New Readers’ Guide!

Trying Human is an ongoing webcomic series that began on June 1, 2008.  It currently spans 6 volumes consisting of 4 chapters each totaling 22 chapters and nearly 900 pages (as of September 2019).  It is set to end on Volume 8 Chapter 32.  Depending on my workload, there will be some side stories after its conclusion.

Genres:  Ufology lore, Romance, Mystery, Drama

The story follows four main interweaving storylines including:

1947

(From Left to Right: Walter, EBE1, Phillis, and Dr. Glasner)

The beginning of every chapter and follows Phillis Lennox, Walter Edwards, Dr. Vernon Glasner, and a recently captured Grey alien, EBE1 (Extraterrestial Biological Entity One).  Phillis wants nothing more than to leave the Nellis Airforce Base Section 51 and start a family but after becoming emotionally intertwined with an injured alien, she doesn’t have many options left.

The Greys

(From Left to Right: EBE1, Hue, Rose, Shade, and Tone)

Rose Marie Williams is an alien abductee who’s been up close and personal with the Greys for most of her life, though she remembers very little of it.  Her abductors include Tone, Shade, Hue, and EBE1.  Recently a grinning Grey has taken an interest in her…

The Reptoids

(From Left to Right: Magnus, Gracelis, Quazky, Longus, and Don)

Quazky is good friends with, Hue, a Grey who’s constantly getting himself into trouble thanks to a device known as a Trying Human Circuit.  Quazky’s brother, Longus, is head-over-heels for a human male named, Don.  Quazky’s crush, Gracelis, is marrying his worst enemy, Magnus.  He’s got a lot to deal with.

The Majestic12

(From Left to Right: Dr. Glasner, Roger, 8, and 6)

Rose’s on-again-off-again boyfriend, Roger, has just been accepted to a secret government run organization known as the Majestic12.  Now known as simply ‘12’, he tries to fit in while following the lead of 6, 8, and a shady figure who lives in the lowest levels of Area 51.

There’s also a whole lot of other characters pulled from Ufology lore within Trying Human.  You’ll meet them and more along the way!
