Augustine is a collaborative comic I’m making with Winter. It’s an action-packed story following a ragtag group of friends in a junk-punk Greek Myth inspired world, as they trifle with ancient legends, bounty hunters, and the struggle to define yourself in a world that rejects you.

The concepts for this story began in 2018/2019 as a story originally called Xenia. This version was much more sombre and serious, and around 2020 I made the call that I wanted something a bit more light-hearted. So the story was reworked into Augustine, while Xenia was separated (Winter is still working on a prose version of Xenia). You can see concepts for the original Xenia at the bottom of this post.

Here’s our summary from the main website:

Augustine follows the adventure of August and her friends: Brick, Heti and Ande as they survive in the perilous region known as the Crater. You can call them all Trouble (with the capital T) as they wrack up bounties for their rowdiness, most especially from the local head honcho Tanto the Bull. During these escapades, however, the group stumbles into an ancient artifact, a possible piece of an old myth surrounding the Crater. This discovery soon leads them down a path of chaos, chased by bounty hunters and old forgotten gods.

Augustine was launched in 2022 and has been ongoing since!

The first volume, encompassing the first chapter of the comic, was printed in 2023!

Augusteenies

In 2023 we made some little gag strips with the Augustine cast. These were posted on Webtoon and other online comic places. We slowed down after making a bunch of them but hope to return to them at some point. For now, you can read them all here!

Characters

August herself! The fearless leader, at least self-proclaimed.

Brick, the minotaur with the most sense of the group, but that’s not saying much.

Heti, the sphinx with the brains and the sharp mouth.

Ande, the shy giant, with little words but probably the biggest heart.
