San Francisco artist Rene Capone tells the story of an abused child who rejects the role of victim and enters an alternate reality where he sets off on a dangerous adventure of revenge, self discovery, and ultimately love. Told in part from the artists own experiences, this is an unapologetically queer graphic novel with emotional depth and imagination. It unfolds like a love letter to any lost child who ever needed a friend ... in three chapters.
220 first edition copies signed and numbered by the artist.
