Legends, myths, and folklore; tales passed down through generations as inspiration or sometimes as warnings of unknown dangers. In Creative Impulse Publishing’s Asusto: A Legendary Night, writer and illustrator Franco Cespedes presents classic Costa Rican and Latin American folktales through a series of unfortunate and horrific events.

Egos clash as a group of drunk, hotheaded men verbally explore local myths while gathered around a bar. As the validity of their stories come into question – especially when one loner chooses to discredit everything being said – fists and weapons are drawn to a tense standstill.

Sean Fahey is back with Tall Tales Of The Badlands #3 . With this latest collection of short stories from Black Jack Press, Fahey brings along a new set of story-tellers and artists, luring you into the supernatural and down right scary side of the wild-west. Once again, in all black and white, these stories are filled with grit, heartache, justice, and this time, a whole lot of fright.

Mark Wheaton crafts a devastatingly karmatic tale in “The Judgement Of The People,” a story of a crooked judge, the lives he’s hurt, and those who seek vengeance both in life and death. Jerry Decaire has a keen eye for perspective and emotion as proven by means of close-up shots of the characters within pivotal panels.
