Here's what it says on the back:

Ichigo Kurosaki was just a little boy when his mother passed away. One rainy day, Ichigo,whose ability to see ghosts is a blessing and a curse, tried to stop a young girl from drowning in a nearby river. His mother, Masaki, ran after them, frantically trying to rescue her only son. Then everything went black, and Ichigo awoke only to discover his mother dead and the little girl gone.

Its the anniversary of Masaki's death, and the entire Kurosaki clan, along with former Soul Reaper Rukia Kuchiki, head to the cemetary to pay their respects. Sleeping demons rarely stay still however, and pretty soon Ichigo confronts Grand Fisher, the strongest Hollow he's faced so far, who may be responsible for his mother's demise...

What got you started in Art and more specifically Sequential Storytelling?

My interest in drawing and art goes back to childhood, and goes hand and hand with my love of comics. Early on I was interested in Spider-man and other Marvels, and I also was exposed surprisingly early to EC horror and science fiction comics, and even the undergrounds and Heavy Metal magazine. I guess it crystallized around my early teens, when I started collecting comics seriously and also, read a biography of William Gaines and became obsessed with EC comics and Horror comics in general. But even before that, around ten years old or so, I started making up my own characters, envisioning and attempting my own comics and graphic novels, very much in the DC-Marvel universe mold- almost as soon as I became interested in the ECs I was drawing and self publishing my own horror and "Weird Science Fantasy" comics- laying the groundwork for Strange Fear books today.
