Glarien of White Ash 1-2: A fantasy series for mature readers
Created by the Amazingly talented Charlie Stickney, Glarien follows the early days of White Ash’s most dangerous elf as told through the eyes of Rachel, a young woman living in 1970s NYC.
GLARIEN is a five-issue miniseries for mature readers set in the White Ash Universe.
The series is written by Charlie Stickney, with art by Romina Moranelli, colors by Fin Cramb, letters by Conor Hughes and Edited by Melissa White. The 32 Page second issue of Glarien continues the story of the early days of White Ash’s most dangerous elf, as told through the eyes of Rachel, a young woman living in 1970s New York City. Think Red Sonja meets Taxi Driver… but with Elves and Demons.
Glarien follows the stories of two women and the different paths they take to overcome life-altering tragedies. Jumping from the elf realm of ancient Alfheim to the gritty streets of New York City circa 1971, two seemingly unrelated tales will slowly weave together to reveal a critical piece of White Ash’s complicated past. Oh, and because Glarien is involved, expect carnage… lots and LOTS of carnage.

Body Horror with Amputation Capital
From the Mad Minds at TPUB Comics comes, Amputation Capital. This is a dystopian present where celebrities and influencers sell body parts on a publicly traded skin market.
The beautiful book Amputation Capital is a horror comic series by Neil Gibson, Raymond Tyler, and Andre Risso, published by TPub comics. The book is 120 pages, fully colored by the forever talented Liezl Buenaventura and Agnese Pozza, with lettering by Jed McPherson and Kat Jackson.
Amputation Capital is a dystopian alternate present where celebrities and influencers sell body parts on a publicly-traded skin market. The story focuses on three characters that are displaced and objectified by the skin business.
In the mean streets of the Hollywood Hills lurks a seedy salesman waiting for polite society to discard a seemingly rich and powerful person.
Alfie is that salesman, and a damn good sales and acquisitions agent he is. Employing tactics of manipulation and weaponizing public opinion, Alfie offers you a contract. The contract is a simple exchange; Alfie wants your celebrity skin. Who would buy it? Maybe a rich fan, or a Hollywood Museum, eccentric billionaire collectors, who knows.
Amputation Capital is Death of a Salesman meets Saw

The rousing conclusion to the Splatter Western is written by Eric Borden with Art by Kyle Brummond.
Spring 1873 – Colman Cooper heads West with his wife Pearl and son Isaiah on their way to new beginnings in San Francisco. The hopes and dreams awaiting them at the journey’s end are foremost in their minds as the wagon train sets out from Independence, Missouri. But the perils of the trail to California are many and exact a heavy toll.
The Cooper family takes refuge in Dugganville where they become stranded at the worst possible time. The town is host to a deadly annual contest that has attracted a collection of thieves and killers from far and wide. Without his good wife’s counsel, Colman finds his way into Lead City.
Pitted against seven deadly fighters, Colman must find a way to outlast his adversaries in the anything-goes, tooth and nail battle for survival. Who will win the richest prize in the West?
There is a raven-haired Pistolera with a penchant for lullabies and a jack Mormon looking for redemption? Perhaps the winner will be a Nepali man-of-war with a legendary blade or an Aussie with a chip on his shoulder. Don’t forget about the Confederate guerrilla looking for a fortune and the Buffalo Soldier looking for revenge. Rounding out the field of deadly fighters is a Shaolin Monk looking for a challenge.
There can only be one winner and Ten thousand dollars will go to the BEST.
Before Deadwood, Before Tombstone, Before Durango there was Lead City. Fans of Jonah Hex, The Magnificent Seven, Unforgiven, The Hunger Games & Smokin’ Aces will likely dig Lead City.
