Get ready for intrigue and betrayal with this week’s theme: Saboteur! Our one-page comics unravel tales of covert operations, calculated disruption, and cunning deception. From shadowy figures infiltrating enemy lines to unexpected acts of sabotage among trusted allies, these stories explore the art of undermining from the inside. Whether it’s a spy dismantling a grand scheme, a rebel striking a blow against tyranny, or a traitor with motives shrouded in mystery, each tale is packed with tension, drama, and high-stakes action.

Jonathan Chiotis is a writer of short stories and poems. He authored St. Anthony’s Fire in 2007 but since then has followed his passion for creating comic books. Doing the art, writing, and lettering for several mini comics with inept ability. Currently working on character creation with a focus on ultraviolent action, cinematic dialog, and the supernatural. He attended two semesters of art school, evidence which is undetectable in any of his works.

Tom Lynott lives in Arizona with his adorable wife, two boys and a Border Collie / Cattle Dog mutt named Dani. He took part in Comics Experience’s Introduction to Lettering Comics class in May 2021. You can see more of his work at https://tomlynottcomiclettering.myportfolio.com/. He has also been known to script a story or two.

Christian De Matteo is a writer and college professor, founder of Tellworthy.com and co-founder of FugitivePoems.com with artist-extraordinaire James Lines. He loves all forms of art and entertainment, enjoys long walks on the beach and other less sandy locations, and is fatally allergic to fluffy cats (in case you wanted to get rid of him). He can be found pontificating/dad-joking on Twitter: @CDMetc and @FugitivePoems. He cannot draw. Like at all.

Jack Van Thomme illustrates comics and pitches in when he can. You can see the things he likes to draw and read the things he likes to talk about on Twitter and Instagram @Real_JackVT https://www.instagram.com/real_jackvt/

Jerna Van Vooren is a comic writer from Belgium, who hopes someday to make that her full-time occupation. She dreams of creating something that would intrigue readers as well as repel them at the same time. Follow her at https://bsky.app/profile/jernacious.bsky.social

Ryan always enjoyed reading comics and copying the images, from Beano to the Real Ghostbusters to the Punisher. He joined a charity art group a few years ago which really got him back in to putting pen to paper. Now he is here at The Comic Jam and is getting to produce some great comics with other creatives.
