Award-winning writer Ray Fawkes and celebrated artist Antonio Fuso team up for SANCTION

By Staff Reports

Mad Cave Studios is proud to announce the forthcoming series, SANCTION! This unique tale—crafted by the critically-acclaimed Eisner, Harvey, and Joe Shuster award nominee, Ray Fawkes (Batman Eternal, Wolverines, Black Hammer ’45), and brought to life by the mesmerizing artistry of Antonio Fuso (Wyrd)—delves into the chilling realm of a totalitarian regime, with a vivid portrayal the characters’ descent into the oppressive system they navigate.

Leningrad, 1987. When a woman’s corpse is discovered on New Year’s Day, a hungover Detective Pavel Smirnoff hands off the case to his partner, Detective Boris Dimitrovich, hoping he’ll close it without fuss. Instead, Dimitrovich uncovers a connection to an old, unsolved crime, dragging them both into an investigation that puts their careers – and possibly their lives – at risk.

Ray Fawkes spoke of the project: “I’m thrilled to present Sanction, the gritty, high-impact, never-seen-this-before crime book I’ve always wanted to write!” 

Antonio Fuso added, “You know all those crime series you love to watch on streaming platforms? Well, this comic book is much better!”
