LITTLE BLACK BOOK is a four-part neo-western crime thriller, written by Jeff McComsey (“FUBAR,” “Grendel, Kentucky”), with art by Felipe Cunha (“Gatsby”), coloring by Marco Lesko (“Newthink”), and lettering by Steve Wands (“Action Comics”).
Set in Texas, the book follows Cole, a repairman whose late father was a career criminal. When he discovers his father’s book of underworld contacts, Cole and his pregnant wife become the targets of a ruthless crime organization. “Cole’s father believed the best thing he could do for his son was to stay out of his life, and he might have been right, but how far does the apple fall from the tree…?”
Axel Alonso, AWA’s chief creative officer, states, “This is a blood-drenched crime story with heart that examines the deep imprint that fathers and sons leave on each other’s lives. At the core of our story is the relationship between a hardened career criminal and the son he abandoned. When the son steps into a world of danger, what help can the father offer from beyond the grave?” McComsey says, “‘Little Black Book’ is about things we inherit from our father, whether we want them or not. Sometimes they’re good things; sometimes they’re bad things. This is a story about one of the bad things.”
Main cover by Francesco Francavilla, and variants by Dave Johnson, and Chris Ferguson with Felipe Cunha.

Sequentials
When middle-class Singaporean student Lu Zhao is invited to spend a summer on Long Island with his rich cousin Tommy, before attending Columbia University in the fall, his assimilation into the opulent American lifestyle straps him into a collision course fueled by designer drugs, sex, deceit, and murder. Gatsby is an LGBTQIA-led, racially diverse series that reimagines F. Scott Fitzgerald’s The Great Gatsby, set in present-day Long Island.
Gatsby
The messages of F. Scott Fitzgerald’s “The Great Gatsby” — about social status, love and chasing dreams — are revisited in the present with a racially and sexually diverse set of characters in their 20s. Gatsby is a Black tech millionaire looking for a love who got away, and Lu Zhao, the stand-in for Nick Carraway, is visiting from Singapore and summering on Long Island (where a $5,000-plus afternoon shopping spree highlights the casual wealth). The main characters are refreshingly blasé about their sexuality: Lu’s girlfriend, Alexis, asks, “How do you identify?” But Lu’s answer does not really matter as Alexis says, “I love being on this journey with you. I’m here for you no matter what.” Written by Jeremy Holt, drawn by Felipe Cunha and colored by Dearbhla Kelly.
