Story
Rory is your typical every day banished Leprechuan.
He runs a bar in Boston and uses his powers of illusion to protect his neighbourhood from the thieves of the world - regardless if they use a gun or a contract as their weapon. When monsters from his homeland begin showing up, Rory realizes that not only are these creatures putting humanity at risk - they're proving disastrous for his drinking time!
You see, Rory has a secret. A millennia ago he ended the faerie-land's civil war by stealing weapons of unimaginable power. He's been in hiding ever since. Now, as his oldest enemy begins to search for the weapons anew, Rory must face the past he escaped from, and the woman he once loved, or else millions - faerie and man -- will die.
Trickster is a funny, fast-paced horror-comedy series -- a sometimes dark look at a "man" who never believed he could be a leader, until he finally chooses to become one. Pouring the perfect pint of Guinness used to be his greatest concern, but like it or not, Rory realises he's the one who'll determine the future of two worlds.
Who's right, who's wrong and what we believe is all a matter of perception.

NEIL GIBSON
Neil is the founder of TPub Comics. He loves collaborating with other writers and artists. He is very passionate about the comic book medium and believes it is one of the most efficient ways to communicate concepts. If you want to annoy him, just mention how you think comics are for kids - his reaction is a common source of amusement. He gives talks about comics and how people can use them at work and study. Indeed, he wont stop yammering on about this, but audiences seem to like hearing him, so he continues his mission to get more and more people reading and creating comics. He lives in London with his wife, two children and seemingly endless household visitors.

Delivery
The comic is completely finished, as are future parts of the story (wink wink!), and we should be going to print shortly after funding. We estimate the whole process to get everything printed, shipped to our fulfillment partner and sent out to all supporters to be about 3-4 months.
So estimated delivery is February 2022 - and we'll keep you updated all along the way!
