When Nick first approached Stavros about the idea, there was no hesitation on his part.

Jude Angelini did us a real solid. He’s been a big supporter from jump, and was kind enough to send over a quote about his thoughts on Godfly.

“Somehow Godfly is able to make every character virtuous and sinister at the same time, including the fly itself. The art matches this duality, being familiar enough to digest and bizarre enough to keep me interested. I hope this becomes a series.”

Check out Jude’s books, Hyena, Hummingbird, and Fin, where the finest of books are sold. Or, listen to him on The All Out Show - SiriusXM Shade45 radio.
