The trail leads to a decrepit Spanish hacienda and a most dangerous foe... La Doña Macaria la Dolente! All hell breaks loose as Diego and Dolores must save the baby, and themselves, from this demonic menace. And things only get more harrowing with the sudden appearance of one of the dreaded Tzitzimimeh.. an Aztec star demon!

Lovebites: Graphic Novel by Sydney Collings

An irreverent post-apocalyptic story about four kids trying not to be killed by zombies or each other.

Lovebites is an amalgamation of all my favorite genres and media combined. I made it because it was the kind of story I wanted to read myself. I wanted to make a story that was equal parts heartwarming and horrific, with elements of levity and humor without being a parody or mockery of the genre of apocalyptic stories. Lovebites explores often deeply flawed, nuanced characters and their complex relationships with themselves and with each other.

Faust: Love of the Damned Omnibus Hardcover by Timothy Vigil & David Quinn

The legendary masterwork of “outlaw comics.” Never before collected in one oversize hardcover. 

A man seduced by power plunges into an underground urban hell dominated by madness and the mystical. Haunted by tortured love, he rages through primal hallucinations in a blood-drenched nightmare of attraction and repulsion, sex and death, revenge and reclamation. In 1987, the legendary creative team of David Quinn and Tim Vigil led two historic comics evolutions: comics for adults and independent creator-owned publishing – influences of Faust: Love of the Damned reverberate across comics and media today. Now the wait is over: The infamous masterwork of “outlaw comics,” collected in one oversize volume, signed by the creators.

“There was Watchmen. There was The Dark Knight, And there was Faust.”

— Rich Johnston, Bleeding Cool

“The legend of the Ramones was that every town they played in spawned numerous bands the next day. Faustcomics are my Ramones.”

— Ed Piskor, Cartoonist Kayfabe

“It completely changed what a comic book could be in my imagination.”

— Jim Rugg, Street Angel, Cartoonist Kayfabe

“Faust pushed the limits of comics with shock and awe while telling an evocative and lyrically poetic tale of trauma, betrayal, and ambition. An unhinged, unreliable narrator / horror-superhero who’s struggling to discern fantasy from reality, the world wasn’t ready for Faust… but he just may be the hero for our times.” — Matteo Pizzolo, Calexit
