Spera will be at TCAF!

Afu Chan, Kyla Vanderklugt, Polly Guo and I can be found at table 258, located on the upper floor in the Owlkids section. We will have copies of both Vol. 1 & 2, the Glass Flowers Special, free postcards and one or two surprises.

If you’re looking to score even more signatures for Vol. 2, Kris Mukai will be at table 244, while Roman Muradov can be located in the Wowee Zonk Small Press Showcase.

TCAF takes place this weekend during May 11th (9am-5pm) and 12th (11am-5pm) at the Toronto Reference Library. Admission is free.

See the full map here.

Kyla Vanderklugt’s Castle is up on Spera-Comic.com! This 4-page comic serves as an introduction to Nole and Kyle, Vol. 3’s main antagonists. Click here to read the full comic.

Above are pages 2 & 3 as an unbroken spread, which is how they’ll appear in the Vol. 3 hardcover when it releases later this year from Archaia.

Kyla, Afu Chan, Polly Guo and I will be promoting Spera at TCAF this coming weekend (May 11th and 12th). We will be selling and signing the first two books, the Glass Flowers Special and we’ll also have free postcards available. Admission is free. Learn more about the festival here.

Part 14 of Spera: Glass Flowers is now online, featuring a monster, Lorem and the art of Don Cocor.

Background art is by Hwei, Jen Lee, Nick Sumida and Cocor. Click the page above to read the full comic!

Spera Volume II

Soundtrack

Part 12 of Spera: Glass Flowers is now online! Here the Creepy Guy reveals his name and Pira & Lono get a new map.

This chapter is illustrated by Allison Strejlau. Click the page above for the full comic.

Here’s a very special project that I’m excited to reveal in full: the Spera II Original Soundtrack, created by CHOBO Sound Project (aka Giannis Milonogiannis). This OST is designed to supplement the Vol. 2 reading experience by, well, making Spera feel even more like an RPG (and now all we need is to actually make the game).

The Spera II OST can be downloaded for free at Bandcamp (click here). Here’s the album’s current tracklist, which may be expanded in the future:

1.Title Menu 00:30

2.Kotequog ~bustling city~ 01:52

3.I Love This City ~battle theme~ 01:33

4.Downtown Kotequog 02:41

5.Adventurer’s Guild 01:06 

The cover art is by Afu Chan and designed by Giannis.

Spera: Vol. 2 is available in stores and from online retailers such as Archaia’s own store and Amazon.

Here’s a badass Pira sketch that Giannis Milonogiannis put together for a Spera TCAF zine a couple years ago.

Giannis is one of the main artists of Spera: Vol. 2, which is now available in comic stores and from online retailers such as Amazon.
