Comic Books and Graphic Novels
Look for some creator-owned graphic works coming from my collaboration with illustrator Aaron Guzman in 2020! Familiar characters like preteen Nova from the pages of The Lunar Diaries of Nova Odyssey; a new story line introduced by Eva in a graphic short, Space Invaders; and a cyberpunk comic book series that kicks off with teenage Ramón and his Puertopian lunar mining family: A mineral in the moon’s Sea of Islands mends the Achilles heel of human DNA—aging— offering clones a lifespan long denied. How long can the Antillano family leverage this secret before the world discovers that the end of human fertility has birthed the beginnings of human immortality?
