OTHER PUBLISHED TITLES FROM AMICULUS BOOKS
Amiculus Volume I: Roma Aeterna (Eternal Rome)
In A.D. 476, Rome fell. The last emperor of the West, a 12-year-old boy named Romulus, was deposed by barbarian conquerors and disappeared from history. Sixty years later, the Eastern Roman army of Byzantium has returned to reconquer the West. With them is Procopius of Caesarea, a historian determined to learn the fate of Romulus and avert another fall. In his search, he discovers something else: a history of Rome's last days, written by the boy-emperor himself. At its center is a shadowy figure known only as AMICULUS, manipulating the fate of kings, generals, and all of western civilization. With an empire in the balance, and an approaching dark age on the horizon, Procopius must learn the truth of Romulus's history: did Rome fall...or was it pushed?

Sugar Creek
The village of Sugar Creek, Ohio is, at first glance, an unremarkable place, a "wide-spot-in-the-road" on the verge of its 200th anniversary. Yet the land contains a dark history far older than the village itself, one of repeated slaughter and bloodshed, that has nurtured an unspeakable horror at its heart. This horror now threatens to burst forth into the light of day. This 32-page story, rendered by Ohio artist Brent Bowman, depicts the extent to which a place can become a monster.
