The graphic novel launches in Brazil

I’m proud to announce the first publication of a story from The Elephant and Macaw Banner universe in graphic novel format!

The work is an adaptation of the novelette “The Fortuitous Meeting of Gerard van Oost and Oludara”, with script by Christopher Kastensmidt, illustrations by Carolina Mylius, and color by Ursula Dorada (SulaMoon). It is being published in Brazil, in Portuguese, under the title A Bandeira do Elefante e da Arara: O Encontro Fortuito (The Elephant and Macaw Banner: The Fortuitous Meeting).
