Dan Schkade’s outstanding webcomic comes to print with a beautiful cover and updated interior art for the second season!

After the defeat of Lord and Lady Hawthorne, the city of Gallery lies safe in the clawed clutches of Lavender Jack. But on the precipice of a divisive election, a new menace emerges from the shadows—The Black Note, a masked phantom sowing disharmony and destruction on an operatic scale. Can our Jack and his allies close down the Note's symphony of terror? Or will this be their final curtain call...?

For mature audiences.
“Created by writer and artist Dan Schkade alongside colorist Jenn Manley Lee, Lavender Jack tells the story of a masked vigilante, defending the poor and exposing the corrupt elite in the fictional early 20th century city-state of Gallery. On top of being a superhero comic, Schkade’s series is very much rooted in detective fiction, with some very central characters paying homage to Sherlock Holmes and the works of Agatha Christie.”—Charlotte Fierro (Heroes, villains, and detectives: a guide to Dan Schkade’s Lavender Jack, K Comics Beat)

Lavender Jack is an amazing story that harkens back to classic media with its classy heroes, daring storylines, and dastardly villains but still feels fresh and new. The author took great care in the planning of this story, and it shows plainly—even on a first read-through—how one choice leads to consequences that impact the heroes in ways big and small… The art is gorgeous too with its bright colors, detailed scenery and costume design, and unique character silhouettes. The artists also use heavy black shadows quite effectively and have a knack for setting up dynamic and striking panels.”—Gillian Thomson (Lavender Jack by Dan Schkade – WebToon Review!, Comic Book Herald)

“One of the biggest draws is how layered it all is. Both Lavender Jack and Ferrier are complicated and fully fleshed out characters, which makes you more invested in the story from the beginning.”—Deanna Destito (A Year of Free Comics: Who is really the villain in LAVENDER JACK?, Comics Beat)
Dan Schkade [SHKAH-dee, rhymes with 'body'] is a freelance cartoonist from Austin, Texas. His credits include the ongoing daily Flash Gordon syndicated newspaper strip, the Eisner + Ringo Award-Nominated Lavender Jack, Will Eisner’s The Spirit Returns, San Hannibal, and Saint John, among others. He’s a member-at-large of the comic creator collective Helioscope. He lives in the Midwest with his girlfriend, cartoonist Jackie Crofts, and their cat.

Jenn Manley Lee

I’m an artist, designer, and cartoonist, with over a couple of decades of experience. Over the course of my career, I’ve worked with design agencies, publishers, and individual clients, on a wide variety of work, including icons and information graphics, layout and presentations, as well as illustrations, photo retouching, and more. I also art-directed a monthly arts and culture publication, as well as writing and illustrating various pieces within.

In comics, I might be best known for the long-running and well-acclaimed webcomic Dicebox, as well as coloring work for a number of cartoonists, such as Carla Speed McNeil, Dylan Meconis, Dan Schkade and Hope Larson.

Though I grew up in New Jersey, I’ve lived all of this century (so far) in Portland, Oregon, with my spouse, Kip Manley, and a number of assorted cats. We were joined by our daughter, Taran, and so continue on, cats and all.
