The collection also includes exclusive art pieces and write-ups from numerous Ukrainian illustrators; focusing on the consequences of war, the peace/relief effort, and mental health…

This year’s Small Press Expo will also see the debut of our newest young adult title, from our Maverick imprint, In the Shadow of the Throne by Kate Sheridan (Flash Gordon, Adventure Time: Fionna & Cake) and artist Gaia Cardinali (Disney’s Mulan’s Adventure Journal: The Palace of Secrets).

When his younger siblings and parents begin to irritate him on vacation, Jordan tries to get some space. But instead of wandering around the museum, he finds himself dropped in a fantasy world of magic where he can finally have some fun and train to become a knight. Except Prince Astel and Sir Griffith are about to uncover a sinister secret kept hidden by the Queen that’ll thrust Jordan in the middle of a magical battle he never could have anticipated.

Focused on creating world wide entertainment in the horror, sci-fi, action-adventure, crime, noir, and fantasy spaces; Mad Cave works with international creators to develop masterfully illustrated art with a focus on character-driven storytelling. Descend into madness.

Maverick, Mad Cave Studios’ new young adult imprint, offers engaging and authentic stories for those who think differently, are not afraid to be independent, and fight for who they truly are. With titles that range from slice-of-life stories to urban fantasy and horror, each Maverick graphic novel will be an authentic and inspiring universal story of personal struggle where anyone can find themselves within the pages.
