Scrooge: A Christmas Carol
by Jason Shawn Alexander
After rediscovering around 80 illustrations I did 24 years ago for a Scrooge ‘Illustrated Novel’ that never came to fruition, I decided to rework the art and finish the book. The entire project has been insightful and incredibly fun. Some illustrations have been tweaked and others, completely redrawn and new ones added. It’s rare you find an opportunity to have an in depth creative conversation with your 25 year old self.
A Christmas Carol has always been my favorite Christmas story and I’m thrilled to be able to create and share the images that appear in my head when reading this ghostly tale.
Jason Shawn Alexander is an expressionist figurative painter, illustrator, and comic book creator. Alexander pulls from the vulnerability, fear, and underlying strength of his rural upbringing, just outside of the haunting home of the Delta Blues.
His work has been the subject of number of solo exhibitions, including the Corey Helford Gallery, Culver City, CA, and 101/exhibit. In 2009 his portrait hung in the Smithsonian National Portrait Gallery, Washington, DC. His work is collected both in the US and abroad. Alexander has also worked over 20 years as an illustrator and comic book creator. He has earned two Eisner Award Nominations and the Silver Medal from the Society of Illustrators. He has co-created and provided art for titles at DC/Vertigo, Marvel, Dark Horse, and Image Comics like Spawn, Killadelphia, Hellboy, Batman, Escapists, Super Man, and Queen and Country. He has also supplied art and storyboards for independent and short films, as well as motion comics for films like Pan’s Labyrinth and Predators.

But this ain’t a serious book – expect plenty of hilarious antics, weird characters, and explosive world-hopping fun!

The Witch’s Egg by Donya Todd
A gorgeous intergenerational family story of promises made, promises kept, and a mother who would do anything to protect her daughters.
With this campaign we’re funding a brand new graphic novel from the amazing Donya Todd… we published Buttertubs by Donya back in 2015 and we’re absolutely thrilled to be working on a new book with her this year.
The Witch’s Egg is a gorgeous intergenerational family story of promises made, promises kept, and a mother who would do anything to protect her daughters.
Witches and angels aren’t allowed to have children. When Urfi defies this, it’ll take her life’s work to make it right.
It was a spiderweb moon
And the imps did wonder
What dark delights wouldst the cat-witch conjure
By the Sardine Queen, by salt and the devil, by blackwormy earth, and by the deep, dark sea, the catwitch Urfi conjures an angel to love her and have children with her. But angels aren’t meant for love, and with the embryonic egg of their unborn children, Urfi flees from her partner’s violence, enduring terrible trials to find a new and safe home in the faery forest.
As her children, Isobel, Batzel, and Mazel, grow up with her, they find the horrors their mother endured during her flight to the forest returning to their lives — this time for the three of them to defeat for good. With secret magic, solemn bonds of friendship, and sisterhood, they can at last stand against the threat of the angels’ terror and insanity in this dark fairytale of motherhood, magic, and apocalyptic romance.

Noir Is The New Black: S02E01
The legendary collection of Noir stories from Black creators is back with new tales!
Contrary to a common belief, Black Noir is not a character from the hit series The Boys. Black Noir is a literary genre born in the 1960s, adapting Noir stories to African American realities. Many fabulous authors made the genre a success (and still are). Which led us to create a collection honoring Black Noir in graphic novel/comic book form. Noir Is the New Black was born! And besides the original graphic novel from 2020-2024, we created an entire line of Black Noir content at FairSquare Graphics, including Little Rock Files (which comes back in this new project) and Watson & Holmes, a modern take on Sherlock Holmes and his partner, set in Harlem.
THE SKINNY
Get ready for new round of Noir Stories by Black creators in comic book form.
Each issue will contain three to four stories and, for the first time, you’ll be able to choose your own cover among five.
For issue #1, we have an amazing lineup. Some stories are continuations of volume one, some are new:
• THE WINTERFIELDS by Joe Illidge and ChrisCross.
After their debut in Noir Is the New Black Expanded Edition, the Winterfields, father and son, are back, trying to deal with the consequences of their actions. Murders, mobsters and dark twists are waiting for them on the page…
• NOH FACE by Ernest Dickerson, Rose Geddes and Julian Shaw.
Film legend Ernest Dickerson (director of Juice, The Walking Dead, Dexter, Bosch and cinematographer for Spike Lee’s biggest hits, among other things) makes his comic book debut in Noir Is the New Black with a tale involving vengeance, violence, lethal women and masks! Also co-written by Rose Geddes with art by Julian Shaw!
• LITTLE ROCK FILES by Greg Burnham and Quinn McGowan.
Teased as “Ousley” in the original Noir Is the New Black, then spun-off in its own title in 2023, Little Rock Files continues in Noir Is the New Black S02E01. Greg and Quinn pick up things where they left it off and… bodies are piling up around Detective Ousley!
And if we get to our stretch goals, we’ll unlock a bonus story:
• WHAT’S IN A NAME? by Tyrone Finch and Todd Harris.
The story of a man living undercover and whose life is going to be altered by a bank robbery he’s not even asked to be apart of…
A new tale reuniting the creators of “Vera’s List” from the original Noir Is the New Black who also are Hollywood powerhouses! (see their profiles below).

Brace yourself for a thrill ride of action and antics that’s being hailed as G.I. JOE meets THE BOYS as the legends of yesteryear collide with the realities of today in THE DISAVOWED!
Matthew Howzer never knew his father—a decorated soldier who died in combat. But family stories say he wasn’t part of any ordinary unit. He served in The United Five, a poorly kept government secret and the stuff of mid-’90s internet conspiracy lore. Their mission: stop Komodo, a grandiose cult turned terrorist faction claiming to wield knowledge from another realm—power capable of reshaping the world. That secret war ended in 1989, with heavy losses on both sides, including Matthew’s father.
Driven by a relentless obsession to learn more about his father’s fate, Matthew enlists in the military and uncovers a truth far more brutal, bizarre, and debaucherous than any conspiracy theory could have imagined. Now, after decades in the shadows, The United Five have returned—not as the world’s hidden protectors, but to stop the very heroes it once called its own.
Because the greatest threat isn’t Komodo anymore. It’s The Disavowed.
