"Squire is the fantasy epic we need right now- something wildly new that still manages to feel like an old favorite. Put simply, Shammas and Alfageeh are the bright future of comics." -- @saladinahmed 1

I think it's neat. But I also co-authored it. Here are some neat things cooler people thought about SQUIRE. "Instantly compelling. I want to live in this story forever." @MollyOstertag 1

They really enjoyed the standing pose with the city, so now it was time to find a direction with the title design and the pose! 3 poses x 3 title designs = 9 possible covers! 3

Any day I can paint cute girls with big hair is a good day for me 😌 Here are some insights into the process for how we reached the final! First rough sketches just to start sending us in a direction. Marketing team was torn between a portrait, and more ambitious full body pose. 4

SQUIRE is my love letter to fantasy, in a setting I grew up in. Aiza climbs through the ranks to Knighthood, all while keeping her identity secret, in this YA fantasy graphic novel set in an alternate history Middle East. #ArabAmericanHeritageMonth ⚔️ https://t.co/80irnTgbcY 3
