Creators Workshop member Marco Della Verde is the writer of “Kreator,” which he developed in collaboration with longtime friends and neighbors from the town of Orbetello, Italy. Illustrator Fausto Carotti has been Marco’s creative partner since grade school, when, Marco says, the two “invented stories while the other guys played soccer!” They join colorist Fabio Angelini to tell a story about a creator of robots and androids, who locks himself in a castle to finish his masterpiece while hostile forces threaten to put an end to him and his work.

“The Digit Debacle” is about a ceremony that goes awry due to an unexpected mix-up between humans and aliens. The writer is Creators Workshop member Ramon Gil, who says, “The concept for ‘Digit Debacle’ has been knocking around my head since university when I took ‘Liberal Arts Math’ – yes, really. The teacher asked us to do problems based on imagining that we were on a planet where we didn’t have 10 fingers.” “The Digit Debacle” features art by Lui Antonio, and color by Kevin Stone.
