Shake off that NYCC hangover with one more totally awesome signing event. Join us MONDAY OCTOBER 12TH, 5-7PM to celebrate the Fantagraphics release of Santos Sisters Vol 2 with the Eisner Award winning artist, writer duo Greg and Fake!
Ambar and Alana, aka the superhero duo Santos Sisters, are back! And now, with an Eisner Award under their collective belt in addition to being imbued with the powers of the goddess Madame Sosostris, they’re even better prepared for whatever comes their way! Whether it be foiling disastrous plots to take down the local power grid, rescuing boyfriends from jealous supervillains, saving senior citizens from drug addiction, or battling the duo’s ever-expanding rogue’s gallery of supervillainery, Ambar and Alana always bring the comic book fun in this healthy conflation of four-color nostalgia, action, and laughs!
Greg Petre draws, Fake Petre writes. They’ve known each other since high school, and have never stopped tinkering together: coloring comics, illustration, animation, video games, painting, and even decorating McDonald’s windows. The “ Greg & Fake “ signature dates back to 2009. They came to comics later in life, after a visit to the artist alley at a convention where they realized they could sell their own drawings.
In 2021, they self-published Giant Sized Santos Sisters No. 1, a 56-page newsprint comic, distributed by Floating World Comics . The series became a quarterly publication, fueled by a group of gag writer friends (Graham Smith, Dave Landsberger, & Marc Koprinarov), much like MAD Magazine. Today, one lives in Chicago, the other in Manzanillo, on Mexico’s Pacific coast, and Santos Sisters is created between the two. In 2025, Fantagraphics collected the first five issues into a hardcover volume.
That same year, at SDCC, Santos Sisters received the Eisner Award for Best Ongoing Series, beating Ultimate Spider-Man, Wonder Woman, Fantastic Four, and Detective Comics. A self-published comic book, born on newspaper, beating Marvel & DC to the punch in a top category: that almost never happens.
Come see what all the hype is about!
