Here's a sneak peek at the art you will see in CHUTZPAH!
First is Felipe Sobreira's art for a story I wrote of a semi-legendary Jewish Berber woman warrior.
Then, it's my American Dreams partner in crime Dody Eka doing art for a WW2 story by Paul Axel!

Two projects that I might pitch around once their first issues are all complete. If no one picks them up, might just crowdfund them. TBD of course.
