“Alex Bauer's writing is intensely emotive and delightfully dark, the perfect pairing for Tok's grossly gorgeous art that redefines the grisly and the beautiful. Combine this dynamic duo with the extraordinary in-depth world of the Skiderverse and it's clear Invader of Stars will be an exceptional example of cosmic horror at its finest.” – Leo Otherland, Editor-in-Chief
We’re thrilled to announce our first-ever author-artist collab! From the mind of artist Tok comes the Skiderverse, a cosmic horror realm that combines the primal and the divine. Renowned for his prolific word counts and vast experience with zines and short stories, author Alex Bauer brings his intense storytelling skills to weave the threads of the Skiderverse together into its first cohesive book, Invader of Stars.
“I met Tok at Comicpalooza back in 2022. Back then, I used to scout the artist’s alley, because I was always on the lookout for prospective artists I could commission for illustration work," said Ynes Freeman, Publisher. "When I came across Tok’s booth, I was instantly drawn to his art. I’d never seen anything quite like it. The way he split characters apart and exposed the primeval side of human nature fascinated me. I’ve been wanting to make the Skiderverse series happen ever since then: and it took me two years, until 2024, to find the missing piece: Alex Bauer. He is, hands-down, the perfect writer for this project. He’s smart, organized, and he delivers…both in terms of great plots and speed of writing. I can’t wait to see this project finally come to fruition.”
