Ahuizotl

Ahuizotl, Luke Pearson's short from Spera: Volume I, can now be read for free at Spera-Comic.com!

Yonder's Dream

Sometimes Yonder dreams -- and often it is a recurring one involving armour, his younger self and an abstract sense of purpose.

Yonder's Dream is an 8-page Spera comic brought to life through the feverish colours and animated GIF elements of Joanna Krótka, who also came up with the original concept. Please click through to see the rest of the comic and its animations.

Steamed Horror

Steampunk and horror served fresh! Steamed Horror is now up on Spera-Comic.com. This 12-page black & white short was illustrated by Giannis Milonogiannis and features a colour cover by Ray Jones.

We ask that you soak in the atmosphere, let it stew and enjoy a nice bowl of nightmares tonight.

Magical Girls fanart contest

We're having a Spera: Magical Girls fanart contest!

Want to win a copy of Spera: Volume I, signed by Kyla Vanderklugt, Hwei, Emily Carroll, Jordyn F. Bochon, Luke Pearson and me? How about a copy of the print edition of Magical Girls to go with it, signed by Victoria Grace Elliott, cover artist Hwei and me? One artist will be selected to receive both of these prizes, while two others will receive signed copies of Magical Girls.

All you have to do to enter is create some snazzy Magical Girls fanart, post it online and send the link to josh.will.tierney@gmail.com. The three winning pieces will also be featured on Spera-Comic.com. The deadline for this contest is April 9th, though it's possible it'll change to a slightly later date.

Magical Girls!

Frilly costumes! Ornate attack shouts! Magical activation jewellery! All 24 pages of Magical Girls are now online, and it’s probably the world Lono wishes the main Spera story was. Follow high school students Pira and Lono as they uncover the nefarious schemes of the Starless, all while studying for tests and reading comic books.

Magical Girls was illustrated by Victoria Grace Elliott, who is part of a magical girl group project called Pretty Clover Knights. If you like shoujo, Sailor Moon, Cardcaptor Sakura and other cartoons and comics in the magical girl genre, we hope you’ll check out Magical Girls!

As a special bonus you can download a wallpaper from the comic's first page.

Clothes Shopping

Clothes Shopping, a two-page Spera short illustrated by HamletMachine, is now online. Clothes Shopping was written in 2010 as my first attempt at a gag comic.

Sun Dog

Sun Dog is up on Spera-Comic.com! The story for this five-page comic was written by Bobby Myers in 2010 as the last of the 'random encounter' series of shorts -- basically, comics where Pira, Lono and Yonder beat up monsters to level up. Disa Wallander brings this particular battle to life with her strong sense of atmosphere and beautiful blue palette. I wrote the dialogue.
