Jenny, a dreamer at heart, is nudged by a colleague to shop for a party dress. She stumbles upon a gown that not only captivates her but also whisks her away to a 1920s Jazz Hall upon wearing it. The enchantment of the dress allows her to revisit the jazz hall nightly.

As time passes, Jenny's curiosity leads her to unearth a chilling fact: the night she attends, a murder occurs. Armed with the dress's mystical abilities, she faces the daunting task of solving the crime and preventing a tragic death.

This narrative follows an ordinary individual suddenly plunged into an unfamiliar realm and an enigma she hesitates to unravel.

"Curiosities and Oddities Emporium: The Dress" is a 24-page grayscale comic revolving around artifacts from a mysterious shop owned by the enigmatic Madam May. It marks the beginning of a series exploring the eccentric store and the extraordinary escapades linked to Madam May's wares.

Hello, my name is Adam, but many know me as Hocky. Drawing and storytelling have been my passions since memory serves. After years of searching for my place, I've returned to these passions, dedicating recent years to honing my skills. My love for comic books and their artistic depth has been enduring. While American comics often feature superheroes, I'm drawn to stories that take the medium in new directions.

This passion culminated in the creation of my first comic book, "Curiosities and Oddities Emporium: The Dress," a project that weaves together many story ideas I've cherished over the years. "Curiosities and Oddities Emporium" revolves around a shop selling peculiar items with magical properties.

I'm thrilled to share this story with you and am excited about the journey Jenny embarks on within its pages. Your support is bringing my lifelong dream of working in comics to fruition. Your contributions will help print the books and invite others to join the adventures within the Curiosity Shop.

My hope is for you and many others to enjoy this story as much as I've enjoyed creating it.
