Read the rest here.

Currently on Chapter Four, serialized in Maple Key Comics

It’s a family drama based on serialized Russian novels of the late 1800’s. But with a sci-fi taste.

Witness the fitness in Luke Healy ( lukewhealy )'s brand new three-part story, THE EXQUISITE CORPSE, staring this month in Maple Key Comics issue 4! Healy's understated, super-clean linework and crisp, brisk storytelling are well-suited to his near-future speculative sci-fi narrative about bodyswapping personal trainers, which is a DILLY of a story. Not to be missed!

Maple Key Comics is proud to welcome Iris Yan back for her second three-part story in our humble publication. This time around, Iris brings us FRIENDS, a collection of vignettes about old acquaintances. But, as with all of Iris' stories, these people are rarely who they seem to be. The first chapter features unexpected evangelism, tentative reaches for approval, and general social ineptitude--all, of course, in Yan's streamlined, charming funny animal style! Just one week to go before Issue 4 hits the shelves! Preorder yours today! Or, make sure you get to read ALL of FRIENDS, plus our other incredible features, by getting a subscription to Maple Key 4-6!

Beginning in Maple Key Comics issue 4 is the great Ian Richardson's ( solidempty ) INVOCATION--a hair-raising tale of aging, monsters, and stumps. We're incredibly thrilled to have Ian on board for what promises to be a nail-biter of  a horror story--and his longest work to date!

Check Ian's work out on his tumblr, and follow him on twitter--IF YOU DARE
