Comic Anthology Written by Benjamin Truman, writer for Games + Comics (Black Mesa, Conan, Ingress: Origins, FUBAR)<br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a>TRUMANTHOLOGY is a collection of indie comics that I wrote while working on the above projects. With all of these shorts collected under the same book cover, I can share a selection of comics that reflect my personal storytelling style.<br /><br />These genre smash-ups and narrative experiments range from Historical Zombie Epics, Monstrous Horror, Deep Space Adventure and Sci-Fi Comedy. Some were contributions to crowdfunded anthologies, others were produced for comic creation challenges.<br />

Very happy to again be working with one of the coolest publishing companies out there, Graphic Classics!<br />
Dad has created some awesome pages for this story, and the sepia tones give it an awesome pulp horror feel!<br />
