About Shade: A Graphic Novel

Click here to read a selection from Shade

Shade is a graphic novel in 12 chapters that might be well described as Star Wars meets Homer's Odyssey. Dañub is a desert planet that orbits a dying star. The denizens of this world are forced to fight amongst themselves constantly in order to survive.

Jocabo is an heroic warrior, but circumstances cause him to hang up his sword. Mathos is an aging scholar with adventurous ambitions, and Djantu is his faithful pupil. These characters from different spheres will find themselves brought together for an epic voyage. What they discover is unlike anything they could have possibly imagined.
