Revenge is Best Served with an Axe!

A family is torn apart when an evil wizard, hell bent on obtaining a magical amulet, kidnaps a couple's baby. Now they must Kill The Wizard in order to save their child!

"Whispers speak of an amulet, forged by an ancient wizard, that bends death to its will. Those who wield it are bound to eternity, trapped between the world of the living and the void beyond. Shadows creep in search of it, and mortals, driven by greed and desperation, would surrender their souls for its power. But the amulet demands a price, one far greater than life itself."

This graphic novel was written and drawn by Seattle's self-proclaimed comics visionary, Mark Allender. He has been drawing comics for way too long and contributed work to publications like The Stranger, The Seattle Weekly, Intruder Comix Newspaper, Scarfff, Nemesis Enforcer, and the list goes downhill from there. Mark has also self-published many smaller comics magazines and zines over the years, which he plans on compiling into a single book and publishing through Senton Design.

Message from the Author

Kill The Wizard is my freshman attempt at drawing a full length graphic novel, so it was an enlightening and humbling experience reading back through it for this second edition. I had so much fun drawing this story, so I really hope that joy came across while you were reading it.

I originally published this comic in five issues, but for the final book I created an additional 80 pages to tell the backstory of the Mother and the Amulet. For some bonus content, I have included a gallery of the cover art for those individual issues. I also included a short comic I drew called Gnome & Serpent, which served as an inspiration to create a longer story.
