Check out this SNEAK PEEK at Francesco Francavilla’s retailer exclusive for Issue #1, which is a take-off on Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country.
The cover, exclusive to Fried Pie Comics, will be available 7/13 at Books a Million, 2nd & Charles and other retailers. For more info, check out friedpiecomics.com. The price hasn’t been released yet.
