Announcing two new titles, “Attack of the Snake Men” and “The Biography of Charles King.” I’m really excited to share these two, because they represent very sharp art styles.

“Attack of the Snake Men” is illustrated by Iacopo Calisti, with colors by Doni Cahyono, and letters by Stella Elisa Cassinese. Set in a fantasy-tinged medieval Europe plagued by deadly Snake Men, one foreign-born warrior is the only one stemming the tide. Or so it seems.

As much as I claim to love science fiction — a forward-thinking genre — I do also appreciate the retro past. With “The Biography of Charles King,” the starting point is the film Destination Moon, set during a space race commandeered by private industry. In this story, circumstances collide to produce the world’s most inconvenient man, and we follow a determined scientist tasked with defending his life.

With art by Christian Peña, I’d especially like to highlight the colors by Brandon Cable. He’s got a clear eye for vintage-style comics, and turned the already old-fashioned line art into a blast from the past.
