Here's some photo proof that A Bite of Pepper, my new young adult graphic novel about a skateboarding vampire, does indeed exists, and it's available both in hardcover and paperback!

Merychippus to everyone who celebrates the birth of our lord, the great, extinct proto-horse!
Of course I would like to take this moment to promote my latest graphic novel, A bite of Pepper (and also my previous books, because I am a grinch)

Recently read the first volume of Kelly Thompson and Hayden Sherman's Absolute Wonder Woman and loved it so much I've decided to excavate the pens and paper from the depths of the drawers, cause I just had to draw this witchy version of Diana and her adorable skeleton Pegasus.

A page from A bite of Pepper I quite like.
Also just another little reminded that there is still time to order the book (or my previous books: Doughnuts and doom, and Wolfpitch) for Christmas for a loved one, friend, enemy (the hardcover of Pepper is a pretty good projectile weapon😉), or yourself.

A quick reminder from the Mint family that my latest graphic novel, A bite of Pepper from Mcelderry/Simon and Schuster (and my previous two: Doughnuts and Doom and Wolfpitch from @topshelfcomix.bsky.social ) are available in bookshops and online, and coincidentally they fill a stocking perfectly!

It's been a while since I posted, I'm just busy cooking up stuff and looking out my kitchen window, watching the crows and the squirrels rummage in the autumn leaves.
Anyway, here is a little seasonal WIP from something I'm working on atm.

Spookyseason is still on btw!
Given that it's the best season of the year (crunchy leaf/spooky season) I thought I should remind everyone that I have 3 whole graphic novels out there, featuring ladies of the spooky variety (witch, werewolf, ghost and vampire, respectively), having cute, romantic adventures.

While the title of my next book "A bite of Pepper", is the name of the lead character, the real star is obviously her dog, Shroom!
