Cover sketch for issue #2
My new comic book Death in Oaxaca from Alternative comics shipped to comic book stores last month (August, 2014.) Now it’s available as an ebook from Comixology at this link for 99 cents. A great deal for 34 pages of comics!
Meanwhile, as this terrifying picture shows, I am hard at work on Death in Oaxaca #2.

Steve Lafler Celebrates New Series Death in Oaxaca #1 (Alternative Comics) with two Bay Area Appearances
The mundane, the sublime and the bizarre show up in their best party attire in the new comic book series from the creator of Dog Boy and Bughouse.Two expats move to remote Oaxaca, the fabled highland city in southern Mexico. Rex, earnest yet duplicitous, flees from mid-life crisis and fear of death. Beautiful Gertie, cynical but honest, is just plain bored and craves adventure. They contend with Lucha Libre wrestlers and an ancient vampire who prefers chicken, and enjoy the best fresh corn tortillas on the planet.
