Release #1 - Chad in Amsterdam #01

After spending a decade in Washington, DC, native Clevelander Chad Bilyeu emigrated to the Netherlands. He has been residing in Amsterdam since 2009, looking for something different but not certain precisely what. This is the tale of an obstinate autodidact in one of the world’s most infamous places. Amsterdam is a city that most know of but do not know much about. This comic book is a portrait of a diverse metropolis as presented by a man destined to live there. Cuisine from Surinam. Bikes. Beer. Jenever. Red Light District. "Where are you from?" Old-school Hip-Hop. All this and more in the inaugural issue of Chad in Amsterdam. This first issue of Chad in Amsterdam contains seven stories as rendered by six artists. Everything is conceived, plotted, written, and produced by Chad Bilyeu. Presented with full-color front and rear covers housing 24 pages of lovely black and white artwork. • cover art - Kim DeMåne • 'The Dutch Inquisition, pt. 1' - Jared Boggess • 'The Breaks' - Boyane One • 'Twamp Sack' - Bas Schippers • 'Warung Sranang Makmur' - Denis Galocha • 'Amsterdammertje' - EKS Graphics • 'Retrofitted' - Chad Bilyeu • Milk - Chad Bilyeu • 'Rokin's Ray-Ban' - Dotsy
