CAMPISI: THE DRAGON INCIDENT

Sonny Campisi is a small-time fixer for the mob-controlled neighborhood of Green Village. If you don't pay your gambling debt, he'll come and collect. If you get a little rough with one of "the girls,” he gets a little rough with you. But when a dragon flies into town and Sonny is the one who's tasked with getting rid of it, it's a problem unlike any he's ever faced, and a chain of events begins that will affect everyone who lives in that neighborhood. Especially Sonny.

A new graphic novel by James Patrick, the writer of KAIJU SCORE, and breakout artist Marco Locati, CAMPISI: THE DRAGON INCIDENT is a genre-mashing comedy-thriller that plays like one part Get Shorty, one-part Dragonslayer, and all parts absurdly wonderful!

Marco Locati also known as Elevted, was born in the province of Bergamo in 1994. A dreamer as far back as he can remember, makes art expressing all his imaginative, conceptual ideas, and technical skills. At first he graduated in pictorial arts and then in the "School of Comics" he graduated with the highest grades. Right after, he found a place where to express his entire potential: Asian Fake. A new independent music label that chose him as their first artist to express their new revolution.
He created for Asian Fake a parallel world of comic-strip stories and hybrid techniques (photomanipulation with illustrations) where artists become anti-heroes, experiencing the transposition of their art between cyberpunk and esoterism. Since then, collaborations with brands and artists started to follow one another. From Achille Lauro to Francesca Michielin, from Timberland to Eastpak and also doing a workshop at the Apple Store in Milan.

- From the creator of the critically acclaimed, Sony Pictures optioned KAIJU SCORE, a genre mash-up involving a heist set against a giant monster attack, comes CAMPISI: THE DRAGON INCIDENT, another original genre mash-up, mixing elements of iconic gangster films like The Godfather and Goodfellas with fantasy elements – namely dragons!

- The comic series debuted as the 100th title from AfterShock since the publisher's inception in 2015.
