SCUM The Tragedy of Valerie Solanas – #MAKE1000
Andy Warhol meets Pop Culture Assassin Valerie Solanas, in a Full Color Hardcover BioGraphic Novel.
Andy Warhol was shot by Valerie Solanas.
“I didn’t intend to kill him… I just wanted him to pay attention to me. Talking to him was like talking to a chair.” – Valerie Solanas
This event changed Art, changed Feminism forever. And spawned numerous Plays, Novels, and Films including the Award Winning ‘I Shot Andy Warhol’ with Valerie played by the wonderful Lili Taylor, and Directed by Mary Harron (American Psycho, The Notorious Bettie Page) “Lili Taylor plays Solanas as mad but not precisely irrational. She gives the character spunk, irony and a certain heroic courage.” -Roger Ebert
Even the last film Warhol directed, the widely dismissed ‘Women In Revolt’ which featured the S.C.U.M. parody org; P.I.G. Politically Involved Girls was inspired by her writing.

A prestige, oversized hardcover anthology. Three original stories exploring and expanding the world of Kryptothera: The Cryptid Pursuit
Through three beautifully illustrated, interconnected stories, A HUNTER’S TALE follows the tale of the newest Cryptid hunter – The Refugee, as he experiences an Art Deco world of ruthless hunters and strange creatures.
Taking inspiration from the game, but reimagined into comic book form – crafting gripping, action packed stories that expand and illuminate the concepts and characters from this strange but familiar world.
This beautifully bound oversized A4 glossy hardback also offers in-world newspaper articles, bios, correspondence, photos and transcripts, all complimenting and enhancing each of the three stories.

We follow his first encounter with a Cryptid and through his eyes, experience our first taste of the vast Kryptothera organisation that runs the world…
Our second tale is ripped right from the board game itself as, on a mission to hunt and capture the elusive, Cryptid, the Hidebehind – the Refugee and his team come up against an old friend. Loyalties are tested and bonds broken in this twisty tale about forging your own path.

THE RUTH AVENUE RAIDERS | A 90s/00s Cartoon-Inspired OGN
The best elementary football team on Ruth Avenue tackles their toughest opponents yet, The Robots of Sector7! Win or go CHROME! 90+Pgs!
THE RUTH AVENUE RAIDERS is a 90-page all ages/middle-grades, 90’s cartoon inspired FOOTBALL graphic novel that blends the playground politics of Recess with the absurdist humor of Agents of S.U.I.T., and captures the soulful heart of Hey Arnold! and the coming-of-age and competitive spirit of Dragon Hoops.
When the best (and cockiest) elementary grade football team in the neighborhood is challenged to a match by interdimensional robots, they soon realize their gameplans no longer work and must learn how to overcome new obstacles and move out of their comfort zones – all before the street lights turn on.
THE RUTH AVENUE RAIDERS come from several places in my heart but mostly my dad, Ryan Becton. This story first came to me as a child when my dad, Ryan, would tell me stories about growing up with his street football team, The Ruth Avenue Raiders, and how they would go from neighborhood to neighborhood playing pick-up football games with friends.
From there, it grew into a love letter to my dad, the middle school students I’ve taught over the years, my favorite childhood cartoons (like HEY ARNOLD!, RECESS, PROUD FAMILY, and DEXTER’S LAB), and shy kids (like I was growing up) who struggle with playing outside of their comfort zones. I pay homage to these influences in my life by telling a heartwarming and humorous story about a diverse group of kids navigating uncharted social situations who learn that it’s okay to make mistakes and it’s often a necessary part of growing up
The Goblin Throne by Mel Gillman
Beware the promises you make to the Goblin Queen . . . especially if you plan to break them. An all-new graphic novel!
Beware the promises you make to the Goblin Queen, especially if you plan to break them.
When a young woman makes a pact with the Goblin Queen for peace and safety, she initially thinks herself prepared to pay any price. But when confronted with the true cost of her contract, she flees to start a new life far from the strange old creature, breaking her word. What she does not realize in the moment is that all deer paths lead to the goblin kingdom, and should she desire it, its Queen will always find you.
Mel Gillman’s The Goblin Throne is a 140-page, full color, 6? × 9? hardcover graphic novel intended for adult audiences.
There are far too few Sapphic fairy tales out there, and we’re sick of stories about some dude stalking yet another princess. We want a story about a hot, one-eyed Goblin Queen scouring the earth for the woman that stole her heart and broke a promise. And that’s exactly what The Goblin Throne delivers.
If you like the aesthetic of Over the Garden Wall and the quiet horror of Grimm’s fairy tales, the fanciful and sinister world of The Goblin Throne is for you. Award-winning, critically acclaimed author Mel Gillman sucks you into a world of passion, blood, and betrayal, rendered in their peerless colored pencil illustrations.
You’ll hold your breath as the woman’s young son walks right into the Goblin Queen’s trap. A trap with no regard for him other than a way to get at her. And when the woman’s son finally awakens, bloodied and alone, will he dare to use the hunting skills his long-dead father taught him to save his mother? After all, he once made a promise, too.

Bi Visibility: Bi Bi Bi – A Bisexual Comic Book Anthology
Exploring: Gender Identity, Bi Erasure, Demisexuality, Bi Rep in Media, Tabletop, Sports, Frankenstein, Post-Apocalyptic, and more!
As a bisexual creator myself, this is one of the most important projects I’ve ever worked on. Growing up, I had very little bisexual representation. I knew the label existed, but I didn’t know what it looked like, how it felt, or that Icould be bisexual. This was the driving force behind creating this anthology. Representation matters!
This third volume of Bi Visibility welcomes some wonderful creators to help bring this to life. Including the likes of Chris Cantwell (Halt and Catch Fire, Iron Man), Heather Antos (Star Trek), Mike Henderson (Image Comics’ Nailbiter), Jarrett Melendez (Chef’s Kiss), Kate Leth (Patsy Walker: AKA Hellcat, Mall Goth), Rye Hickman (DC Comics’ Bad Dream: A Dreamer Story), Rachael Smith (Wired Up Wrong), Tara Madison Avery (Prism Comics), Alex Brennan-Dent (WEBTOON’s Fantasy High), Dominic Bustamante (DC Comics’ Warriors and a Wee Wonder), Rafi De Sousa (The Little Mermaid & The Pirate Queen), Sara Soler (DC Pride), Johanna Taylor (Penguin’s The Ghostkeeper), and so many more wonderful creators!

The government doesn’t want you to know this, but this book is actually literally a magical tome that will isekai you back into the days when your favorite anime voice actors didn’t have a twitter account.

(Space) Odyssey #1: Homer’s epic like you’ve never seen it
A retelling of the epic journey of Odysseus back to Ithaca, against all odds & the gods themselves, set in a rich scifi galaxy far away
Everyone has read or seen some version of this tale. The majority of fiction since has been inspired by it directly or indirectly. There’s even the upcoming blockbuster movie by Christopher Nolan coming out later this year.
So why tell this story now and as sci-fi?
Related: Interview: Bruno Catarino – Family & Honour, A Historical Fiction Mini-Graphic-Novel
Our goal when adapting The Odyssey as a sci-fi space opera was to bring it to the 21st century and RECAPTURE the same sense of WONDER and IMPOSSIBLE ODDS that the original had in ancient times.
In the 21st century, the sea has almost no mysteries left. Space does.
In the 21st century, the distance between Troy and Ithaca are almost meaningless, but not if they’re separated by light-years of never-ending void.
In the 21st century, we know there are no Gods who rule the world. Oligarchs do. Algorithms and AI do.
And that’s why, in the 21st century, we chose to retell this story through a sci-fi prism, set in space, in a galaxy far far away… ?
Issue 1 tells the story of the fall of TROY, a planet protected by an impenetrable barrier that not even the combined forces of Greece and Sparta could break, were it not for Odysseus’ strategic mind. Unfortunately for him, this victory is only the beginning of a decade long journey to return to his wife and son in his beloved Ithaca…
You think you know how this story is supposed to go? Think again…
