Gene Ha Shows Brave New Worlds with “MAE”
Mae is THE dream project of four time Eisner Award winner and New York Times bestselling creator Gene Ha. With Gene on writing, drawing, and lead color; the team also includes artist Rose McClain on color assist, and graphic design by Anette Nam.
C4S was made aware of this project via Doomrocket, followed by some amazing preview pages exclusive to Comicsalliance and the stunning news CBR announced that MAE will also be available via Dark Horse Comics!
In addition to the main story, the Mae graphic novel will feature an introduction by Bill Willingham, a behind the scenes look at concept art and production, and a bonus “Sunday comic strip” story.
Once upon a time in Indiana… a 13 year-old girl named Abbie Fortell disappeared. Her younger sister, Mae was left behind to finish school, take care of her ailing father, and build a life without her sister. Eight years later Abbie has returned, claiming she’s found a doorway to a world of adventure and monsters. These tales are hard to believe — at least until the monsters show up too…
Mae is the start of a new and different phenomena. It’s a lavishly produced adventure tale with two strong female leads, made for a wide audience: young adult as well as older readers of both genders. We know that there are many readers out there who can appreciate story and art without needing grim, gritty violence, and sex. Let’s prove to the world that there’s room for original creations like Mae. The Comic Book medium is big enough for all of our dreams and stories.

About the Author
Richard Boom Richard is the driving force behind Comics for Sinners. His love and admiration for female comic book characters is virtually unparalleled, which immediately explains his biggest 'sin': his Hot Mummy fetish. This sketchbook theme is philogynistic in nature and even the source of his WIP comic book series "The Sisterhood".
