Enigma Machine is a comic from the mind of Nicholas
Fair.
It crosses the boundaries of science-fiction and fantasy while always
maintaining a dash of apocalypse that keeps everything nice and
balanced. It may seem confusing, and at some times, random. That's
because it's meant to. But do not fret! This chaos is in fact order
that will come together in time.
One day, a pair of roommates find themselves to be the lucky owners of
a inter-dimensional portal. Shenanigans and antics ensue. Mainly,
kidnapping and torture. Unintended death. Those sorts of
things.

FAQ
When does
the
comic update?
I try for once a week- sometimes more, sometimes less. It all depends
on what else I have on my plate- but checking every Friday can't
hurt. Or even more than that if you have OCD.
Why did
you
decide to make a comic?
I read more comics than should be healthily consumed by the average
human being. As a design major with a penchant for art and writing, I
thought it was only proper that I give back to the medium that I enjoy
so much.
What is
an Enigma Machine, and why would you name a comic that?
Enigma Machines were devices used during the World Wars that could
encode and decode encrypted messages, somewhat similar to a cipher. I,
however, heard of the term first being used as a nickname for a hobo in
The Areas of My Expertise by John Hodgman, and
I
thought it sounded pretty awesome. I mean, it's a machine that makes enigmas!
What's
cooler than that?
What do
you do
besides make comics?
I am currently in university for a degree in Industrial Design, hoping
to focus on concept illustration and product design. However, I do tend
to draw a profuse amount in a way that does not relate to my
schoolwork. I also read quite a bit, play the occasional game on Xbox
live, dispense life-changing information, and build various mixed-media
sculptures out of trash.
How can I
contact you?
I have an email for the site that I do hope doesn't get spammed to
death, and it is . Feel free to send me a question or comment and I'll
get back to you asap.
