Creating this series has been an incredible collaborative experience. It’s was a combination of influences from the Locked Tomb, Monstress, mythology and dark fantasy that brought the story to life. This is my and artist Norn Noszka’s first long form comic and they do such amazing work. Letterer/Editor Aubrey Lyn Jeppson has been key in guiding the story and capturing the vibes with her lettering design. I’m very proud of what we created and loved learning the process of comic creating. - James Duran

About the Writer
James Duran has had a long journey into realizing his dream to become a comic book writer. After his first script, Drunk and Damned, was selected to be part of an anthology of alums from Gail Simone’s Comics School in 2020, he discovered that he wanted to pursue creating more comics. Maraketh’s Chosen formed from his love of the supernatural, fantasy, ridiculous OP magic characters, horror, the power of friendship, and discovering who you are. He can be found usually playing co-op competitive video games, reading books and comics, and wishing he was back in San Francisco.
