Every artist has that one story that refuses to stay quiet—an idea that follows you, grows with you, and eventually demands to be brought to life. For me, that story became Fade to Black, my original English‑language manga series that I write and illustrate through my indie publishing label, B4 Manga.
After years of honing my craft, studying the visual language of manga, and independently publishing my work, I finally stepped fully into the career I’ve always wanted: creating graphic novels in the manga style. Fade to Black is the first major milestone on that journey, and I’m incredibly proud to share it with readers around the world.
What Is Fade to Black About?
At its core, Fade to Black is a dark action‑fantasy about ordinary people pulled into extraordinary danger. The story follows Shin Foster, whose life changes the night he encounters a wounded stranger—and a monster that shouldn’t exist. That moment drags him into a hidden war between humanity and demons, awakening a mysterious power tied to the legendary Knights of Avalon.
The series blends:
- Action and supernatural combat
- Character‑driven drama
- Mystery and world‑building
- A gritty, cinematic tone
If you enjoy stories where light battles darkness—literally and figuratively—you’ll feel right at home here.
Why This Series Matters to Me
Fade to Black isn’t just another project—it’s the culmination of years of drawing, writing, experimenting, failing, improving, and pushing myself as a storyteller. I handle every part of the creative pipeline:
- Writing
- Storyboarding
- Page layouts
- Penciling
- Inking
- Final artwork
It’s a labor of love, built from the ground up with the goal of creating manga that resonates with both Western and Eastern audiences.
