THE YEAR IS 2070. The world is still recovering from decades of catastrophic environmental damage caused by the Great Chill. Meanwhile, entrepreneur Harlan Manchot seeks to create a better world to live in... no matter the cost.
Anxious photographer Joslyn Adams prefers to live behind her camera, unlike her extroverted best friend and journalistic partner in crime, Arlo Kinley. When Arlo's internship provides an opportunity to join Manchot Corporations' three-month-long research mission to the moon, Joslyn is reluctantly strung along as his plus-one.
But when Joslyn finds herself witness to a small part of a much larger conspiracy, she must step forward to discover the truth:
Who is Marklee?
What is the Moontown mission hiding?
And can she solve the mystery - before someone else discovers her?

WELCOME TO MOONTOWN, POPULATION FOURTEEN.
MOONTOWN has been a passion project of mine for a long time.
It is my first true venture into the world of comics and graphic novels, and it has gone through many different iterations over the last six years since its initial concept back in 2020!
