BURN: A TALE OF ILUNEA

by Zak Kinsella

Burn is a refugee story set in a fantasy world. After the brutal destruction of their homeland, Chamal, high guard of the Kingdom of Ilunea, is on the run with the Kingdom's mightiest weapon, Kel, a super sweet sentient fire sword. With the help of an unlikely ally, Michael, the duo sets out to take refuge in the neighboring land of Gelka. The journey, however, is plagued by the forces of Baron Blalqu, an instigator set on the slash-and-burn destruction of Ilunea. 25 pages, color, softcover comic.

Zak Kinsella is a cartoonist and illustrator making his home in Denver, CO. He is the creator, writer, and artist for the Dinky-nominated comic Outré Veil.

BEARPLANE

by Ally Shwed

Bearplane is the silly story of a man who is forced to share the confined space of an economy airplane seat with a large, ferocious bear.  An all-ages, (mostly) silent comic about not judging a book--or a bear--by its cover. 32 pages, color, softcover comic.
