Magic Bullet, a large format comics anthology newspaper based out of the Washington, DC area, published our latest “Black Magic Tales” story in issue #20, written by Joe Carabeo and illustrated by Carolyn Belefski.

Our story “Optioned” introduces us to two indie filmmakers destined to leave their mark in Hollywood and continues the adventures of world famous criminals Roxy Monroe and Dean Casanova (plus their cat, Black Magic). We made this comic back in 2020, but things were on hold because of the pandemic — I’m glad you’ll be able to read it soon.

One really cool thing about this story is that we collaborated with Shawn Daughhetee, Sean Causley, Dana Maier, Matthew Mowczko, Nadia Gomez, and Terry Flippo on the lettering for the studio executives — it is great to see their personalities injected into the story.

Be on the lookout for your free copy in the Washington, DC region! Common places to find this publication include comic book stores, tattoo parlors, record shops, and hip restaurants. I know for sure Big Planet Comics (U Street, Vienna, and College Park locations), Fantom Comics, and Beyond Comics are stocked.

Did you know? “Black Magic Tales” by Curls Studio has been printed in every edition of Magic Bullet (#1-20 so far).
