GREATER SECRETS is out TODAY! It's the latest full-length graphic novel from Ananth Hirsh and Tess Stone.


Maya, Dyno and Cardea all have their own reasons to search for Maya's missing sister, Amara. Amara was a rockstar who was breaking out-- until she suddenly put her guitar down and walked away from everything. GREATER SECRETS is a surreal coming-of-age roadtrip at the edge of the world. 

You can get it at your local bookstore, or online:

We're also doing a book launch in Brooklyn at the Lofty Pigeon! I'll be in conversation with Carey Pietsch of Adventure Zone fame. You can RSVP at the eventbrite by clicking the graphic below.

GREATER SECRETS is also a Junior Library Guild Gold Standard Selection Award Winner! Thanks to the JLG for the recognition!

Yee-haw! Happy Halloween from Barbarous! This couples costume was Percy's idea, if you can believe it.

Hi everyone! Greater Secrets is a graphic novel by myself and Tess Stone, published by Random House Graphci! We're doing a book launch at the Lofty Pigeon in Brooklyn, NY on November 12th! I'll be in conversation w/ Carey Pietsch of Adventure Zone fame! The event begins at 6:30 PM, and you can RSVP here:


Greater Secrets is coming out on November 12th, 2024! It's a coming of age road trip at the edge of the world. We're so excited about the book, and hope you check it out and enjoy it! If you'd like to pick it up, you can find it at:

Hi everyone! We've been cooking on this for a little while, and with the shift in the online landscape and social media, we thought now was a nice time to debut it! 

BARBAROUS ½ is a new series we're starting, with a focus on the going-ons of the building that Percy and Leeds oversee. Yuko had a lot of fun drawing the cute, blobby style of the Elden Ring comics, so you'll be seeing that style here! And we'll be starting off by updating once a week. The mainline BARBAROUS series takes a lot of work between chapters, so this will be a fun way for us to post comics while we finish our more production-heavy comics. We hope you enjoy it! 


=====

The online store is temporarily down! We'll be reopening it as soon as we're ready!

=====

Chapter 8 is complete! Chapter 9 is currently in development. 

You can read from the beginning of Chapter 8 here.

You can read from the beginning of BARBAROUS here.

And you can use the archive controls to jump directly to each chapter archive!
