Garen Ewing Garen Ewing, former ChaplinUK creator, has been very busy on many exciting projects these days, including using his terrific artistic talents in his original creation of his award winning 'Rainbow Orchid', a beautifully illustrated 1920's comic mystery adventurer set in Europe, about saving The Lawrence Family honor by finding 'a mythical' wild orchid. Garen's comic has been published by Egmont UK. His The Complete Rainbow Orchid is available his Garen's Rainbow Orchid Shop, or from many online retails. In Garen's intriguing story, Rainbow Orchid, Garen's love for silent films is shown with his leading lady being silent film star, Lily Lawrence, who is mentioned to star with Edna Purviance in Lily's next picture. Personally, I think it would be a great edition for any Chaplin Collection to have this classic original work from a truly devoted Chaplin Fan! Check out Garen's 'Rainbow Orchid' site to find out more about The Rainbow Orchid! Garen is currently working on more Julius Chancer Adventures.
