Project #1: Shockheaded Peter #1-2
What it’s about: The second book of a planned 3-part fantasy-horror graphic novel of marvelous retribution and dreadful delight, Shockheaded Peter is a cautionary tale about the harbinger of punishment and a teenage girl’s desire to join his disturbing crusade. This tale is unleashed with chaotic flair by writers E.B. Kogan and Jessica Silvetti and supercharged by the unapologetic artistry of Giuseppe Sabè Di Stefano in a beautifully printed, perfect-bound 108-page book.

Project #2: Mad Dog Morgan
What it’s about: All-out indie wrestling collides with a blood-drenched haunted house in this hard-hitting graphic novel from The Lab Press.
Mitchell “Mad Dog” Morgan grew up taking a beating from everyone he knew. He had only one dream: to make it to the big leagues of wrestling. Then his dad, brother, and every other motherf’er who didn’t believe in him would see just how amazing he really was… but that dream never happened. His life just coasted down a road of endless failures. Guess they were right about him. Morgan decides the only way out is to end it all. He goes to an abandoned house… or so it seems… to drink himself to death and get this over with. But the liquor shop owner around the corner knows too much about him, and the girl across the street, offers him hard warnings.
Turns out this is a house of horrors. A house where wicked things are done by wicked men. A house that can only be seen by people ready to cash it all in, and the house wants to break down Morgan and transform him into one of the horrific apparitions that walk its halls. All of Morgan’s failures led him to this moment, the true calling of his life, a war with an ancient Evil he was born to fight. There may only be one mark in the crowd, but Morgan is more than some F’n Jabroni. He’s the goddamn main event.
He will be broken, he will struggle and scream, but this man with no future will save the souls of hundreds… and hopefully his own. And just maybe, for one goddamn moment, his life will matter to someone.
