I'm happy to announce that the final issue of my comic series "Dias de Consuelo" will be released on July 9 and is now available for pre-order at the link in bio. This larger 32-page full color comic begins in post-Revolutionary Mexico where war-weary townspeople begin a return to normal life, but old tensions between church and government create new conflict and violence. Though Evarista, Consuelo and Tichi have found a relatively safe life in the hacienda of a distant relative, it is not without hardship and stress. Just as their situation takes a turn for the worse, a letter arrives and the family will never be the same. This issue took longer than expected and I thought about not printing it because it will be harder to recoup my printing costs without comics conventions this year. This edition of 200 comics will likely be the only printing. You can also find the full set of 6 in my store if you've been waiting to get them.

Throwback to when I made these fantasy book covers of some memorable (to me at least) authors. I forget if I did these for a contest or something else. Who can guess the Lessing and Pynchon books that I refer to? https://www.instagram.com/p/B_8DBLEjaMx/?igshid=1qo47x0hx9q0i
