September 27th, 2018 – New York, NY— ComiXology, Amazon’s premier digital comics service, reunites with Comix AF to announce the newest addition to the comiXology Originals lineup: Fair Trade. Debuting spring of 2019, Fair Trade is written by Tini Howard (Magdalena: Seventh Sacrament, Poseidon IX, The Secret Loves of Geek Girls, Oath Anthology) and illustrated by Eryk Donovan (MEMETIC, The House in the Wall, The Super Mario Bros. 2, In the Dark Anthology).
To celebrate this announcement, Eryk Donovan will be at New York Comic Con signing limited quantities of the exclusive Fair Trade poster at the comiXology Artist Alley table #1B5. He will also appear in two comiXology-hosted panels – The New Comics Publishing Frontier and The Voices of ComiXology Originals. For the full panel and signing schedule, check out comiXology on Twitter and Tumblr.
Writer Tini Howard says, “Set in a city whereinspiration is the black market du jour, muses who call themselves the Moonfly Mafia have the power to inspire humans…and the wisdom to never give a good thing away for free. And when our hero Margot steps on their turf, she starts learning a few things, too. This is a book for magical girls-gone-bad.”
Fair Trade
A series for magical girls-gone-bad!
From creators Tini Howard and Eryk Donovan, Fair Trade is a classic mafia-style story of a blooming prodigy with more skill than good sense, set in a city where inspiration is the trade and magic colors outside the lines.
