That’s right, fans of illustrated fiction, today is annual Free Comic Book Day at brick-and-mortar and online comic shops around the world. And in keeping with this fine tradition, we here at The ’Warp have a couple of our own offerings for you!
The Saga of Pandora Zwieback #0: A full-color introduction to Goth adventuress Pandora Zwieback, star of my young adult novel series, The Saga of Pandora Zwieback (of which books 1 and 2, Blood Feud and Blood Reign, are currently on sale). Pan has the ability to see the monsters that regular humans can’t, and with the help of a 400-year-old monster hunter named Sebastienne “Annie” Mazarin, she’s going to protect the world from danger—and maybe even have some fun while doing it. This sixteen-page comic is hosted by Pan herself, written by me (author of X-Men: The Chaos Engine Trilogy and Final Destination: Dead Man’s Hand), illustrated by Eliseu Gouveia (Infiniteens, The Phantom, Vengeance of the Mummy), and includes two sample chapters from Blood Feud.
Hearstopper: The Legend of La Bella Tenebrosa #1–3: Before she became Pan’s monster-hunting mentor, Sebastienne Mazarin made her debut in this short-lived, 1990s Mature Readers series from Millennium Publications. A nefarious heavy metal band has arrived in New York City, and its lead singer is more than just a sex magnet for his female fans—he’s an incubus! Will Annie put an end to his plans for worldwide chaos, or fall prey to his supernatural charms? Written by me (of course), issue 1 was drawn by Pan and Annie co-creator Uriel Caton (JSA Annual, Lorelei Presents: House Macabre) and inker Alan Larsen (Femforce); issue 2 was penciled by Uriel, Holly Golightly (School Bites), and David C. Matthews (Satin Steele) and inked by Larsen; and issue 3 was penciled by Holly, with four pages of inks by “Chainsaw” Chuck Majewski (Lorelei Presents: House Macabre, Harvey Kurtzman’s New Two-Fisted Tales).
