Experience the full story of alien abductee Arcadia Alvarado’s campaign to be U.S. President… and her search for the truth of what happened to her, in the comic that suggested there was Russian intervention in U.S. politics way before it was cool!” It will conclude in early December, and Paul fills us in on what else he’s working on as well, so you’ll enjoy another great interview with this high-power comics creator!
