Archon is a five-volume urban fantasy comic book series about wizards, dragons, elves, and neon-lit Las Vegas. In 1981, Gareth Thompson, a veteran and single father, accepts a security job at the new fantasy-themed Archon Hotel and Casino. He quickly discovers his co-workers are not people in costumes, but actual creatures of myth and legend hiding in plain sight. Tasked with concealing their true existence from the human world, we follow Gareth as he crosses paths with a Rastafarian wizard, a federal knight, and a profit-driven dragon casino manager.
DISCLAIMER
This comic is suitable for ages thirteen and above. There is action, peril and some implied or partial nudity. Though this is a fantasy book, there are mild illusions to real world crime, gambling and substance abuse.
Read with discretion.
Volume one of Archon was originally published in 2015, but is now completely out of print and not available anywhere. We hope to complete volumes two through five as this series continues its online publication. You can read along free or, if so inclined, support on Patreon for early access and extra pages. Chapters from volume one will become available for purchase in the store as they complete their webcomic run.
