TALES OF ZERO is art-house B-movie comic with a cinematic style that's part Indiana Jones, and part Aliens '86!  It's a 48 page movie for your mind, with grainy old school horror vibes!

It's a coffee table comfort comic for fans of B-Movies and Pulp Sci-fi Horror and Lovecraftian fiction, -- a diesel fueled remix of the classic "Satampra Zeiros" stories of the 1930s by Clark Ashton Smith, H.P. Lovecraft's California based contemporary.

The textures grit and weathered feel of the art are something you will want to hold in your hand, and your friends won't be able to put down. Back the tier that's right for you, & we'll bring this physical book into your hands, and together we'll bring this wild adventure to life! 

A WEATHERED, ATMOSPHERIC ART-STYLE:

The Story:

Our story takes place on the Space Mining Colony called Zeta-3. The Corporation gave their construction crews a liquid stimulant called "the Juice" that temporary gives youth strength & stamina, and allowed them to work longer hours and dangerous conditions.

Now the station is finished and there is no more work for these old "scrappers" but they are still addicted to "the Juice" and have to seek odd jobs to pay for it.

At the local Bar we find ZERO and OSILLO, two "scrappers" who have just met RIKK, a young data analyst with a dog, who has never been outside the colony, yet yearns to have a real adventure.  

ZERO proposes an journey to the nearby alien ruins, where certain valuable relics might be found. With these they would have enough money to pay for their ongoing juice habit, and get transport off this world to find new adventures. But, as these high spirited adventurers set out for the ancient ruined city ... something very ANCIENT and EVIL is waiting for them . . .
