Perils of Picorna

Picorna has come a long way from her life as an orphan on the streets of a dirty port city. She was rescued by Sister Talavaria, a fast-rising voice in the Church, who ascended to its leadership with Picorna as her personal apprentice. This year, Talavaria is attending the King’s Autumn Court in the capitol city, and Picorna finds herself in a strange place with perils lurking at every turn. With Talavaria’s life in danger and a key advisor missing, Picorna sets out to solve a mystery that will place her on a collision course with the Church’s most deadly enemies.

Perils of Picorna is a six-issue fantasy comic series written by Amy Kaczmarowski and Rick Silva. It’s illustrated by Missy Pena, and published under Dandelion Studios’ new Quarterstaff fantasy imprint.

Issue #1 will debut at Anime Boston, April 2-4, 2010, and is now available for pre-order.
