Mad Cave Papercutz Announces Art Baltazar’s YAHGZ Vol. 3 – The Mystic Orb

The aftermath of the epic GWASH WAR has left Craybi Craynobi as the sacrificial hero and left behind an Orb without its mystical powers. What is the Mystic Orb? What magical mysteries does it hold? Is it a gateway into another world… or worse? Why does its magic feel cloudy? Is the Orb a power for good? Or is it a power for evil? And speaking of evil… Who is the menace of DARK ANGRIOUS?

Craybi Craynobi has been gone for 100 Cray years. It’s a cold and dark time for Cray World and the land of YAHGZ. The planet is getting colder day after day. Their world is on the verge of freezing. The only warmth comes from the planet’s core. What happened to the world we knew? What happened to the Cray cousins? What happened to Craybi Craynobi’s son, Crayski? Did the prophecy of Crayski saving the land of YAHGZ come true? What is the fate of Cray World? What is this new threat that invades YAHGZ?

With the announcement from Papercutz, Art Baltazar said:

“FINALLY!” The conclusion to the epic YAHGZ Saga Trilogy can be told! YAHGZ the Mystic ORB is a story I had in my mind and in my sketchbooks from the 1990’s when I first started self-publishing comics!

The first two volumes, YAHGZ The CRAYNOBI Tales and YAHGZ The GWASH WAR, were story adaptations and retellings of The CRAY BABY Adventures, a comic series I self-published early in my career.

I went back and re-read the CRAY Comics and thought, wow I think I have something here. So I re-wrote, re-drew, and re-told the epic saga with my 30 years of cartooning experience leading the way. However, I never had the opportunity to tell the epic conclusion until NOW!

What an experience this has been. Even though this story has been with me for 30 years, it feels like I am writing something completely fresh and new.

ts so awesome to dive into this world of YAHGZ with the possibility of anything being possible. I am creating new worlds, new characters and new CRAY LORE. The epic world-building is insane.

I’m even adding new things as I draw and color the story. I hope the masses like my story. Its been my cartooning-life’s work. The long awaited magical story of CRAYBI CRAYNOBI and his family and the future of CRAY WORLD takes place on the mysterious land of YAHGZ.

Good Guys! Bad Guys! Monsters! Magic! Mystery! Old Friends and NEW! Join me on this journey, friends. This may just be the best work of my career.”
