Here is the 1st page of our Bluebeard graphic novel.
"The summer I turned eighteen was a strange summer.
It was the summer that would decide my fate."
Out May 5th from Papercutz.
It took us over two years to make this book. Little did we know it would come out in the middle of a pandemic! Not great timing but we'll try to make the best of it.
If you want to support us, you can do so by pre-ordering the book now. Our website http://metaphrog.com/graphicnovels/ has several links to stores for pre-orders and an eBook version on ComiXology.

That’s us turned in BLUEBEARD to our publisher (Papercutz)! And now comes the excruciating 7 month wait for it to come out. But we can already tell you that the amazing Denise Mina, Charlie Adlard (The Walking Dead), Nate Powell (March), Philip Ardagh & Frank Quitely are all blurbing it! Big thanks to them!

Bluebeard is now finished! That's 173 pages of full colour digitally painted art. Now in the very final stages: proofreading and editing. It's been a long road!
