THE STORY:
Our nation's prayers have been answered: The stars have aligned and brought us President Jefferson Monday to lead the world into a new Golden Age. After thousands of years of promise... Camelot has returned.
Unfortunately, evil agents of darkness lurking in shadows and high positions of world power aren't willing to call it a day just yet...
Thankfully, the United States Department of Secrets has employed Matthew Dee to protect us. A descendant of Queen Elizabeth I's court magician, John Dee, Matthew is a covert spy and combat mage, trained in the ancient practice of the Mystery School Network, fighting to ensure humanity's freedom from the grip of ancient dark forces.
LUCID, a 4-issue limited series, is an action-packed fantasy for the 21st century drawing inspiration from James Bond, Arthurian Legend, and modern American mythology.

Murder...
Intrigue...
Old men doing bad things...
GOULD KANE is long into his retirement as a top cop. He was once the basis for the world famous comic
strip detective THE SPOOK. But when a not-so-nice man, once nicknamed MR. MURDER, is found dead, the
events that unfold could lead Gould to a new and perhaps even greater profession in his twilight... as a very
bad man.
MR. MURDER IS DEAD lives in several worlds. It's all at once a throwback to the great staples of noir &
pulp, while at the same time examining the real-life ramifications of our characters' choices.
