Commander Rao

Set in a sci-fi future after a decade of warfare against the despot Baron Klaus, a rogue embittered soldier decides to storm the Baron’s manor and kill him herself. A year later, stories are sung of her heroism, but the mystery of her motives remain. Thus begins the tale of COMMANDER RAO, a thrilling fast-paced action comic of how violence begets violence, and how all the heroics of warfare are meaningless in the eyes of what has been lost.

Frightmare City

Frightmare City is a monthly crime/horror hybrid comic from filmmaker and writer, AC Turner. Recently, AC discovered “Welcome To Fear City”, a long forgotten
pamphlet distributed by the NYPD. In it, a Hooded Death’s Head warned readers to “Stay away from New York” as authorities grappled with uncontrollable violence that left the city teetering on the brink of bankruptcy. Reading the pamphlet, AC thought “what if”? What if “Welcome To Fear City” was actually a thinly veiled warning
against something more sinister than conventional crime. Something more evil. With this in mind, AC teamed up with some incredible artists from around the world and began crafting a new, nightmarish version of New York. A city where crimes are perpetrated and punished each in their own horrible way.

Utown

Utown is the story of a seedy neighborhood that a cast of misfits call home. Inspired by a string of real events that took place in my own city, the story follows Samuel, a 24 year-old semi-aspiring artist (but mostly a video store clerk) who’s doing his best at avoiding adulthood. When gentrification shows up at his doorstep, he must face the fact that the town he grew up in is no longer his safe haven–and that he’s not ready to leave just yet. With no money and little options, it’s time for him to either step up and prove his worth as a serious artist or keep on repeating old, toxic behaviors.
