Here is a preview from my comic in the upcoming Hic & Hoc anthology, “Unknown Origins & Untimely Deaths: A Collection of Unsolved Mysteries” coming out in February. My comic is called “The Monster with 21 Faces” and is about the true story of a terrorist group that harassed Japanese candy companies in the 80s.

I’ll be tabling at APE this weekend! If you are in San Francisco you should stop on by and say hi. I will be at the Gingham Ghost table #807. I will have some old zines, The City Troll, and maybe some original art.

Rob Clough reviewed my graphic novel, “The City Troll”.

Aaron Whitaker breathes new life into the sad-sack loser/slice-of-life genre with his long-form debut, The City Troll.
