Sweet Sepulcher, by Sanctum favorite Matthew Allison is available now at the shop, and our web-store.

In this premier installment we get the story of young space patrolman, Freddie Potrzebie, and his exploits on the moon. After months of virtual training, second lieutenant Potrzebie flies his first solo lunar mission as he’s tasked with extracting the final batch of juvenile delinquents sent to the moon 20 years earlier. Will Freddie’s desire to look ‘cool’ in front of these unruly toughs be his undoing? Does taking the strange drug, Denudal, to impress the hot-to-trot GiGi lead to tragedy for the green lieutnant? Find out in Sweet Sepulcher Part 1!

Then, if that weren’t enough, you get the first part of a Cankor ongoing - Cankor: Battle Damanged. Awakened from a deeply introspective meditation into a chaotic warzone, Cankor attempts to find out if endless war is his/our natural and eternal state of being, or if he/we can rise above the primitive need to dominate and win at all costs.

Catnaps, Catnaps Everywhere! is available now at the shop, and our web-store.

A box, a sunbeam, or a comfy lap: there’s plenty of places to find a napping cat.

Necchi is a big, long cat who enjoys napping, lazing around, and finding new ways to get attention from his human. Stretched out in a sunbeam or curled up in a box, Necchi is never picky about where he lounges! This sweet boy never scratches or knocks things over if he’s displeased—he simply extends a paw in refusal. And he always knows when his human needs cuddling.
