Lavender Jack Volume 3 - (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

Dan Schkade's outstanding webcomic comes to print with a brilliant new cover and updated interior art for the final third season!

WAKE UP, GALLERY!

As the Great War rages across Europe, the City of Gallery gasps under the boot of Lord Mayor Gall--aided from the shadows by the machiavellian Lady Hawthorne. Killers and profiteers are installed in the halls of power. Resistance is met with brutality. But as Madame Ferrier and Honoria Crabb take on a case that draws them into direct conflict with the despotic Ministry of War, a missing element is returning to Gallery: Sir Mimley and Ducky, Last of the Bastrops, braving assassins and battlefields on a mission to stop Gall and Hawthorne once and for all.

The course of the 20th Century will be decided in this final contest between the criminal war machine of an entire nation and a ragtag league of gumshoes, misfits--and Lavender Jack!

For mature audiences.

Jenn Manley Lee

I'm an artist, designer, and cartoonist, with over a couple of decades of experience. Over the course of my career, I've worked with design agencies, publishers, and individual clients, on a wide variety of work, including icons and information graphics, layout and presentations, as well as illustrations, photo retouching, and more. I also art-directed a monthly arts and culture publication, as well as writing and illustrating various pieces within.

In comics, I might be best known for the long-running and well-acclaimed webcomic Dicebox, as well as coloring work for a number of cartoonists, such as Carla Speed McNeil, Dylan Meconis, Dan Schkade and Hope Larson.

Though I grew up in New Jersey, I've lived all of this century (so far) in Portland, Oregon, with my spouse, Kip Manley, and a number of assorted cats. We were joined by our daughter, Taran, and so continue on, cats and all.
