The Ragbox, Volume 1
The first volume of The Ragbox is now available in print. As we enter the neighborhood for the first time, we meet young Roberto and Ana Estevez. After a freak accident kills their parents, the siblings must find a way to survive on their own. Free to pursue their own paths, they discover just how little they can relate to their friends and neighbors in the “Ragbox” district of the city.
The Ragbox is an experiment in artistic styles. Each of the three chapters in Volume 1 is illustrated by a different artist – Mark Hamilton, Braden D. Lamb, and Matthew Reinke. The collective effect is a tapestry of styles as diverse as the fictional neighborhood of the Ragbox itself. Read it online first.
