We're almost at our funding goal! We're getting there by drips and drabs over the past day or so, and I'm hopeful we can hit it today. In the meantime, here's some more background on the inspiration b...

For the past 40 years, rumors have swirled around the mysterious death of Sarah Shaw. Whispers became gossip, gossip became tall tales, tall tales became legend. But hidden within the stories are rotten truths waiting to be unearthed.

Read WHO KILLED SARAH SHAW here: globalcomix.com/c/who-killed...

A poster filled with various quotes of high praise for WHO Killed Sarah Shaw. It shows the titular character standing there with her arms folded and holding a few New England Asters. Her head is bowed and she is crying.
