It wasn't intentional, but the vast majority of the people contributing to Letters from the Void are LGBTQ+, and I'm so proud of that.

When you support the book, you're supporting queer comics creators! 😍

Help us get closer to our goal. 👇 👇 👇

Thanks to Alejandra, all 5 cards of my main characters from The Wretched are translated into Spanish! Why? Because the comic will be in Spanish, too!

I can only post up to 4 images, so be sure to check the comments for the fifth character, plus a link to a 40pg preview in Spanish + Kickstarter! 😁

Woo-hoo, we made it to 50 followers! 🥳
This is my first #comic, so it's nice to see many others are interested in it. I'm planning to get the #Kickstarter ready by mid next year, so hopefully we can get many more onboard. :3

Next up: Targeting 60!

Anyone want a look? Check the comments below! 😁

Well... In a rather sudden turn of events...
You can now actually read the first 40 (out of 70) pages of my first #comic, The Wretched, on @globalcomix.com. 😳

It's a mix of #horror, drama, and light #sci-fi, if that's up your alley.
Available in English+Spanish. 😊

Literally the only thing giving me a little hope about my current Kickstarter is the handful of Dark Tower mega fans who said the art is awesome.

Last year, I contacted Felipe about doing a little portfolio piece. We talked about #hollowknight and #chainsawman and quickly we came up with Spryte!

Now, that portfolio piece is an ongoing comic!
