Book of the Dead
Read at your own peril…
Death comes for all of us. Our stories are written each day we live…and they all come to an end eventually. Immerse yourself in our new comics this week. Pray that you do not see your name written in the Book of the Dead.
Lukas is pretty new to this. His first release “Bad Endings” will be out later this year. He loves the creativity and collaboration of the Comic Jam and is mostly just happy to be here.
Alessandor Earnest, alias “The Imp of Editing”
Attended art school for five years. Came away with a fancy degree and narrowly avoided learning how to draw.
Now edits comic books and manages creative teams. Could not resist test driving a new drawing tablet, despite the aforementioned lack of drawing chops.
