by Chris Ryall & Nelson Daniel

From Syzygy Publishing! Groom Lake, featuring lovably inscrutable grey alien Archibald, is back in an all-new standalone graphic novel!

Written by co-creator Chris Ryall and illustrated by Nelson Daniel, with additional art by Ben Templesmith, this all-new tale shows you that those Tic-Tac UFO videos aren’t anything to worry about compared to what’s really coming our way.

Our Lady Maven

by Emily Crose & Sarah Allen Reid

Our Lady Maven is the first in a series of books threading thematic elements through the early, mid, and late 1940's. With a high attention to historic detail both in terms of story and art elements (as well as genuine queer representation) Our Lady Maven spins an exciting fictional narrative without completely rewriting history.

Many of the dates have even been kept intact in order to keep the plot grounded in truth, even when the story deviates from a factual historical account of the war.
Drawing on the true life story of legendary allied spies & saboteurs, Our Lady Maven examines the events leading up to the foundation of modern geopolitics. Just like in the real world, not all is as it seems at first glance in the world of Our Lady Maven.
