These kids didn't anticipate the mayhem they'd unleash by locking away a cryptid. Little did they realise, it induces nightmare hallucinations in the creatures around it, and their playground is about to become a carnival of horrors! kblue.zipcomic.uk #indiecomics #scifi #cryptids

Black and white comic book art of a circus tent. Word balloons are coming from the tent, indicating someone inside is talking. Balloon 1 says "What do you reckon it is? Some kind of alien?" Balloon 2: "Don't be daft, Callum, it's like, a lizard, or...?"

The next panel depicts a cryptid creature resembling a spider. There are word balloons above the spider, indicating people talking around it. Balloon 1: "We should tell an adult!" Balloon 2: "What's the matter Callum? Scared it's gonna phone the mothership?" The first speaker responds: "Aw, shut up!"

Black and white comic book art of two kids: a little girl with a backwards baseball cap, and a boy sticking out his tongue. The girl says "But then we'll have to say we watched it eat half the sausages out of the food caravan before it ran here. Right after dad told me to stay away from the fairground while everyone was setting up."

In the next panel the boy is closing a cupboard underneath a dressing mirror. The girl is walking out of the room. She says: "Let's just pretend we don't know how that happened, and keep it locked in here."

Black and white comic book art. A man with a toothy grin is speaking to another man with black hair. The toothy grinned man says: "This morning I spoke to our the man in charge's secretary. He knows all about your little discover during that debacle with The Hive."

The man continues to speak: "Well, I think this little side project is even more important to our CEO than anyone knew. I still don't know why he cares about this mystery venture as much as he does, but you made me look good, Lucas."

Dialogue continues: "Keep doing that, and big things are going to happen for you, my boy."

Dialogue continues: "There's just one thing I need you to do first. Find her!" The toothy grinned man holds up a polaroid photo of Zip: a woman in goggles and a superhero themed tracksuit.

Black and white comic art of a woman standing in a ruined city. Her dialogue is displayed in word balloons: "...will outlive everyone. Not just you and me. Everyone. The human race will go extinct, and he’ll keep living. The Earth will be swallowed by the sun, and he’ll keep living. The universe itself will end, but he won’t. What kind of pain will he feel, living through all that? I can’t imagine it. But I know it’ll never stop. Never. Unless I do something."

A photo of some comic covers. Cover 1: a woman in googles and a superhero costume modelled on a tracksuit, clutching her fist as it glows. There is a moonlit city street and x-rays hanging in the sky in the background. The art is black and white with heavy linework. Cover 2: A monochrome purple colour pallet depicting the Bristol Clifton Suspension Bridge, and in the sky above it the woman from the first cover is looking off into the distance, as if she is a giant above the city. Cover 3: A shirtless martial artist with a shuriken shaped tattoo on his chest and an animal tooth necklace is wielding a bo staff in a pink sunset. He is facing someone in a stand-off, although only their leg and sporty trainer can be seen in the background: crackling with electricity.
