Eric Grissom – Co-Creator, Writer:
Planet Gigantic, Deadhorse, Chickens.
PLANET GIGANTIC: When two genetically-engineered teenagers crash-land on a strange planet, they must learn to rely on themselves and their still-developing powers as they face down a giant rock monster. Also in this issue: Lyana the Seeker braves a cursed tomb in search of the fabled Eye of the Sun.
DEADHORSE: Deadhorse is the story of William Pike and the key to a fantastic box of unimaginable power.
After William receives the key in a letter from his thought to be deceased father, he is pursued by a brutal industrialist and a relentless bounty hunter as he travels to the farthest reaches of Alaska in search of the truth.
Claire Connelly – Writer/Illustrator: thINK Illustration!, Illustrator: Chickens,
CHICKENS: Mental Floss says– “Grissom and Connelly mostly avoid tackling the gimmick head-on and instead focus on telling a good story about growing up and chasing your dreams, letting the grisliness of a slaughterhouse for humans lurk in the background.”
Paige Connelly – Illustrator: thINK Illustration!
