Dan Schkade’s outstanding webcomic comes to print with a beautiful cover and updated interior art for the second season!

After the defeat of Lord and Lady Hawthorne, the city of Gallery lies safe in the clawed clutches of Lavender Jack. But on the precipice of a divisive election, a new menace emerges from the shadows—The Black Note, a masked phantom sowing disharmony and destruction on an operatic scale. Can our Jack and his allies close down the Note's symphony of terror? Or will this be their final curtain call...?

For mature audiences.
Dan Schkade [SHKAH-dee, rhymes with 'body'] is a freelance cartoonist from Austin, Texas. His credits include the ongoing daily Flash Gordon syndicated newspaper strip, the Eisner + Ringo Award-Nominated Lavender Jack, Will Eisner’s The Spirit Returns, San Hannibal, and Saint John, among others. He’s a member-at-large of the comic creator collective Helioscope. He lives in the Midwest with his girlfriend, cartoonist Jackie Crofts, and their cat.

Jenn Manley Lee

I’m an artist, designer, and cartoonist, with over a couple of decades of experience. Over the course of my career, I’ve worked with design agencies, publishers, and individual clients, on a wide variety of work, including icons and information graphics, layout and presentations, as well as illustrations, photo retouching, and more. I also art-directed a monthly arts and culture publication, as well as writing and illustrating various pieces within.

In comics, I might be best known for the long-running and well-acclaimed webcomic Dicebox, as well as coloring work for a number of cartoonists, such as Carla Speed McNeil, Dylan Meconis, Dan Schkade and Hope Larson.

Though I grew up in New Jersey, I’ve lived all of this century (so far) in Portland, Oregon, with my spouse, Kip Manley, and a number of assorted cats. We were joined by our daughter, Taran, and so continue on, cats and all.
