Here it is – finally – as promised and teased early last week:

Hopeless, Maine – The Gathering!

“Welcome to Hopeless, Maine. An island steeped in evil—I mean—steeped in history.

Meet Salamandra, an ordinary orphan girl, just one of many other orphans on the island (come to think of it, where did all the grown ups go?)

Sal faces the normal, everyday struggles of growing up in a small town—avoiding fell creatures of the night, trying not to get eaten by the aquatic fauna and mastering her supernatural powers.

Like all young people, Sal can’t wait to get out of her dead-end home. If she doesn’t get out she probably will wind up dead, after all.
At least Salamandra has a best friend! It’s a shame that no-one else can see or hear her friend, but then nobody’s perfect are they?”

Or why not pop over to your local comics store and ask for it?
If they do not already have it in stock (they should, and be sure to tell them so) I am sure they can order it for you!

(Did I mention it makes a great christmas present?)

Now excuse me while I go off to secure a copy for myself!
