Not available in comics shops - order from Amazon, or directly from me. CRESCENT CITY MAGICK is a fantasy graphic novel, set in modern-day New Orleans. Clayton Woods, newly arrived to the city and on the run from terrifying forces he doesn't understand, is aided by Julia, a young self-proclaimed witch, who is convinced Clayton just might have the makings of a hero. Clayton suspects Julia may be crazy. http://www.amazon.com/dp/1490488782/ref=tsm_1_fb_lk

With some advice from friends, I finally have the production work on my cover, for my graphic novel, CRESCENT CITY MAGICK, done.  Now, I'm writing my author's preface... digging out some sketches and photocopies of pencils before inking, for the back-matter. I expect to have the Graphic novel in print, late spring, or summer... In other news, I'm working on a couple of superhero commissions and a new mythological piece, which I plan to have ready, to sell as a print, by Motor City Comic Con, this May....
