When Alan arrives to the crime scene on the 6th Street Bridge, he finds the late Detective brutally murdered with his heart removed from his chest.
Detective Miller’s only lead in the case is a beautiful silver Studebaker Starlight left abandoned on the bridge with another person’s blood inside.
With more questions than answers, Alan is met in the middle of the night by a grey alien who speaks to him telepathically. The alien informs Alan that a shapeshifter not only killed Patrick Perkins, but that this creature is hiding within Central Police Station.

A lighthearted adventure about how babies are made, kind of. Think Lord of the Rings inside a woman’s reproductive organs.
Sperm Wars is a 50-page graphic novel. It is a story, 22 years in the making. It is now time to finally bring it to life.
My name is Timothy Yzaguirre, and I’m the creator of Sperm Wars. This all started when I was a young soldier in the United States Army, and I was goofing around, drawing pictures of people as sperm Everyone got a kick out of it, and some even thought it would make for a great animated cartoon.
