Maple Key contributor Josh Lees ( lickspittlecomics ) has a pair of cowboy boots in the colors of the New Mexican flag. His 6-part story "Rigel and the Star Teens" will run through the entire first year of Maple Key.
Lees' work--in particular his Star Teens stories (which are part of his MFA Thesis at Vermont's Center for Cartoon Studies)--is largely concerned with coming-of-age narratives in fanciful settings, drawn in a fun, Archie-influenced style.
In each of Lees' Star Teens vignettes, his pubescent heroes search for love, adventure, and their own place in the galaxy--all in between puns, of course. For more of Lees' work, please visit his website. In the meantime, keep it locked here for more creator spotlights and more information on Maple Key!
