I've been polishing Neptune Road and gotten through the first 32 pages and printed it out in zine form and I'm quite excited to see it all together. It's the story of people/misfits/criminals living on a somewhat terra-formed planet.

Photo of the front cover of Neptune Road, depicting a roadside sign that reads "Welcome to Neptune, air sunlight most days, vacancies" and some sort of transport flying overhead Photo of a spread of two pages from Neptune Road, showing arrival of a transport and a young character tying her shoes Photo of a spread from Neptune Road showing two characters discussing a missing kid, one of them is an agent tasked with finding her and the other is the self-appointed Neptune greeter
