Author Biography
Sebastian A. Jones is the Founder and President of Stranger Comics and is the creator of the world of Asunda. Asunda has been a labor of love for Jones for over three decades. Growing up as a mixed kid in England, Jones developed the inclusive fantasy world through tabletop gaming and live action role-playing. Years later, having relocated to the US, he started the comic world of Asunda where the character Niobe Ayutami rests firmly at the center. His first Asunda release, The Untamed: A Sinner's Prayer, was acclaimed by Bleeding Cool who called Jones "the Robert E. Howard of our generation" and master storyteller Clive Barker who dubbed it "an epic tale, conceived and crafted not only with a great love of comics, but also a profound understanding of the power of visionary storytelling." Jones has published 6 collected Asunda volumes and has 6 more currently in production. Jones has also written and published 4 children's books including the popular I Am Mixed.
