What it’s about: Sherlock Holmes and the Empire Builders: The Gene Genie is a two-part graphic novel adventure starring the world’s greatest detective as you’ve never seen him before.

Project #4: Wicked Town #1
What it’s about: Welcome to Meadowlark Park, 1975. America is being rocked by rapidly changing times—the paranoia and confusion of Vietnam and Watergate, women’s lib, oil shock. But, this charming bedroom community on the edge of the San Fernando Valley has problems of a more otherworldly nature.
Frustrated housewife Livvy Castle joins a local bridge club and suspects the secretive women are actually a coven of witches – and she’s their next target.
Wicked Town is a tale of psychological horror, grounded fantasy, and wicked dark humor.
