In this fantasy adventure story we follow Temerity Aster, a 15-year-old girl who lives with her large family in a small village of goat herders in the tiny hamlet of Oddgoat. The world she lives is shaken up when random doors to living dungeons appear, including one that has appeared in her cellar.
Now her family must deal with the introduction of “Delvers”—adventurers who are looking to explore these dungeons and escape with treasure. Soon life for her and her family changes forever, and she must face two choices: abandon the only home she's ever known to carpet baggers and sellswords, or carve out a place for herself and her family in this new and dangerous world of delving. Collects Delver #1–#5.
MK Reed is the author several graphic novels and comic series, on subjects ranging from humorous paleontology history, to romance, to young adult first amendment rights. Her work has been nominated for the Ignatz and Eisner awards, and her debut graphic novel, Americus, was the winner of NAIBA’s 2012 Carla Cohen Free Speech Award. MK lives in Portland, Oregon with her very tall husband.
C. Spike Trotman was born in DC, raised in MD, and lives in IL. An artist and writer, she founded Iron Circus Comics in 2007, which has since grown to become the region's largest comics publisher. Her notable work includes the webcomic "Templar, Arizona," the Smut Peddler series of erotic comic anthologies, and Poorcraft, a graphic novel guide to frugal living.
A Kickstarter early adopter, she pioneered the widely-adopted bonus model that's since completely reshaped the pay system of the small press, jump-starting the current renaissance of alt-comics anthologies. Iron Circus is also the first comics publisher of note to fully incorporate crowdfunding into its business model, inventing one of the single most effective uses of new media in comics publishing today.
