The Werewolf Prince, 40 pages - Published by Wolficorn Studios, (cc/ @smystery)
The Werewolf Prince is a passion project 10 years in the making. It is a silly, derivative, and sincere story born from my love of monster of the week TV shows, survival horror video games, gothic literature, campy films, seinen manga, 90's animation, shonen anime, and homoerotic art throughout history. I truly hope you enjoy it. And please, let me know your opinions in the comments. Stay Classy Art, Characters & Story © Sorbet Mystery
