This looks great, such a distinctive style and I love the composition! The way the 'Kava' part especially fits over the ampersand is fantastic, it really highlights the shape of the negative space between the two lines.
@Caitlin ahh I have the 3rd one. Some of the stories are cool and have that old school comic feel with muted colors. I am thinking of doing a series of faux movie posters incorporating the different mediums used throughout the book. Like crime noir, magician posters and comic style.

@James Blevins I have the first volume of the comics in graphic novel form but have yet to be so lucky as to read the rest!
