So Ends Chapter I

As I’ve done twice before, I’ve posted the title page for the next chapter. Yes, that means Chapter I ended with page 52, and Chapter II will begin next week. I know for many of you weekly readers this comes as a disappointment, but as I’ve written in the past, though I am publishing Chadhiyana: In the Company of Shadows as a web-comic, the book was written as a single, two part graphic novel.

Boston & Baltimore Comic Cons 2014 & a New Chadhiyana Edition

This second edition of Chadhiyana (the first comic) features new cover art (by J. M.
