The Art of Ian T Anastas

Fae Noir writer Justin Bow, the fella who wrote the comic I drew, gave an interview on Secret Identity podcast about the comic project. Give it a listen

Kickstarter launch day has arrived for my first comic book project Fae Noir! Written and hosted by my project partner Justin Bow, and illustrated by myself. Imagine that the earth has been invaded by a host of fae creatures set on conquering the world of man during the height of World War 1. The fae have not been seen for 500 years, but they are now set on world domination. Man has long forgotten about the world of magic, but his newly realized potential for mechanized warfare has leveled the playing field. As the invasion ensues the nations of the world scramble for new alliances to defeat the fae. Imagine aerial dog fights between The Red Baron and dragons. Imagine trench warfare with trolls and goblins. Picture battling giants and winged fairies with mustard gas and flame throwers. In the end the kingdoms of the fae are defeated. New treaties are drawn, and order realigns. Our story picks up in 1924 Brooklyn. Long Island still smolders from the battles fought there between the fae and the American military barely more then a decade before the story begins. Now it’s the Roaring 20's and everyone wants to forget the horrors of a war that spanned continents and dimensions. But the changes it wrought are not so easily dismissed. Humanity struggles to understand a world of re-awakened magic and folklore come to life. The failed invaders from the lands of faery find themselves adrift in the unfamiliar modern world, living relics of the past. It is an era of jazz and exploration, of art deco and danger; a time when the fists and courage of individuals can determine the course of history. Thanks in advance for your support. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1738025468/fae-noir-comic-issue-1
