Meet the Creators!
“Nature’s Labyrinth is the type of comic I’ve always wanted to write. It’s a love letter to films like Battle Royale or Tobe Hooper’s The Funhouse but blended with my affection for nature and my fascination with the dangers of the outside world. Working with Bayleigh is sincerely one of the highlights of my career. Her sense of storytelling and kinetic action on the page is unrivaled. The result is a thrilling action-driven horror comic where nobody is safe!”

“Nature’s Labyrinth is a fantastic comic that has been very fun and challenging to work on. It’s a giant, brutal, endurance test and that’s 100% the kind of stories I love working on. Zac has been fantastic to work with and his writing is really pushing my art to new levels.”
