The complete comic anthology trilogy with 107 total stories about Lovecraftian gods and monsters.
We're back again for the third volume of Cthulhu Is Hard to Spell, featuring everything you loved about the first two volumes, with even more Lovecrafty goodness. These books are our love letters to Lovecraft fans of all kinds, from those that obsess about Cthulhu, to the ones that never want to leave Arkham, to the ones that keep a copy of the Necronomicon under their pillow, and everyone in between. Whether you are a casual fan or a rabid one, we've got you covered. The volume features stories by Trina Robbins (the first woman to draw Wonder Woman), David Pepose (Scout's Honor), Christian Gossett (The Red Star), and a fantastic cover by Aaron Alexovich (Invader Zim), among many fabulous writers and artists. In total, over 75+ creators contributed 34 incredible stories to this third 180-page hardcover collection, and the results are pretty mind-blowing.
Ancient Futures by Steven White
A sci-fi fantasy graphic novel series blending Afropunk, weird science, conspiracies, and hip-hop influences.
Welcome to Ancient Futures, an immersive graphic novel series with a dark noir quality. It’s a love story told through the eyes of AfroPunk Assassins at the end of SpaceTime — caught up in humankind’s ultimate existential moment. Just like Valentino Cruz, the main character, Ancient Future’s creator Steven White (aka Seven) was pursuing a glamorous international career — with a freshly minted advanced degree, consorting with the global elite and the enforcers that serve them …”hunting dangerous people for large sums of money.” When the world changed and the glamour ended, Seven began to take the seeds of an idea, reflect on his own journey and develop it into a full-blown story - a curious investigation into an alter-ego... Valentino Cruz, a character imagined and ten years earlier.
Bloom Pretty - A Fantasy Comic for a Mature Audience by Lisa Fowler
Twitter: @SheWritesComics; @LastEmberPress
A story of romance, obsession, murder, and plant-people. I mean how can you go wrong!?
Bloom Pretty: Lily of the Valley is a standalone tale that sets up a fantasy world that has been brewing for years, featuring an all-female creative team! Backing this project will help bring to life the first piece in an even greater story encompassing a whole world of fantasy, intrigue, suspense, and magic. A distinguishing element of this world is that all living creatures inhabiting the lands are plant hybrids: every animal, every person. This opens a world of possibilities and makes for some absolutely stunning art.
