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!
