My Friend Made A Thing – A Glorious Comic Book

Everyone! The other day I got this little gem in the mail, and I want to share it far and wide.  Dishoom #1 by Sam. J. Royale. If you’re into art and/or graphic storytelling I can’t recommend it enough. Sam made some fan art for my Eon Quest character Captain Wolfmoon. (I’ll put it at the end of this post) and we’ve been friends on Instagram ever since. Over the years I’ve seen little hints of the comics he was creating. It’s been a long time in the works, but the final result is gorgeous. I almost have a hard time describing it, but I’ll try…

It’s such a cross section of mystical and mythic and fun. It’s honestly hard to pin down. I’ve put a few images from his Instagram page in this post to give you a teaser. But I heartily recommend checking it out. You can get it on his Etsy page either in print or digital. The print version came with this awesome hand-drawn sketch of Conan on a protective envelope.

Right now is a better time than ever to support independent artists. The print job on the comic is so nice and the colors look so great, I can’t imagine it was cheap. But it’s an absolute steal at $10. I hope we have many more issues of Dishoom to come.
