Chopper #1

Writer: Martin Shapiro
Penciller/Inker: Juan Ferreyra
Cover Art: Tony Mauro

Reckless, cynical Christina Winwood is a high school cheerleader and part-time drug dealer, which isn’t easy to pull off when your dad is a well-respected cop. One night after a football game, Christina starts selling a new drug called Stairway to Heaven to her classmates. It promises a phenomenal high ten times more potent than Ecstasy. However, it has an eerie side effect – it opens your sixth sense, piercing the mystical veil that separates the world of the living from the realm of the dead. During the hallucinogenic high you can see ghosts, and because you’ve crossed over into their domain, they can affect you. Unfortunately, one of them is a headless Hell's Angel on a motorcycle who collects the souls of sinners.

When decapitated bodies begin showing up around town, Christina’s father, Detective Paul Winwood, tries to uncover the mystery behind their violent and inexplicable deaths.

Skinwalker Graphic Novel

Writer: Martin Shapiro
Artist: TBA
Cover Art: Simon Dominic

Each year thousands of revelers descend on a remote stretch of desert in Nevada for the phenomenon known as Burning Man. It is part Woodstock, part Girls Gone Wild bacchanal, part indescribable art experience. For one week, the desert is transformed into a surreal and colorful dreamscape of kinetic activity, theme camps, art exhibits, gigantic sculptures, drugs, and nearly-naked people clad in body paint and bizarre costumes.

Into this eclectic mix, a group of four young men from LA arrive for a Labor Day weekend of debauchery. Drug-induced mischief spins out of control leading to a confrontation with a creepy, old Indian shaman at the nearby Paiute Indian reservation. Consumed with anger at the white man, he summons the evil spirit of Coyote, a legendary warrior whose tribe was slaughtered by white settlers over a century ago. Once reborn, the werewolf-like shapeshifter sets out to retrieve the shaman's stolen medicine stick and kill the boys – in the process avenging the wrongs committed against his people.

Skinwalker combines elements of The Hangover with the slasher horror of Friday the 13th.
