Tales from Fremont Street

Shane Cook is dead. Sure, he was a gambler, a drinker, an occasional petty crook, but despite being a loser, Shane was not a bad guy. But that’s not always enough to prevent murder. But who killed Shane? Was it Mrs. Kim, who owns an antique store on the other side of the motel they both lived in? Or perhaps fellow resident Mr. Prudeholme, the crusty old man who wears his savings in gold? Could it have been Daniel Kahananui, the clerk at the motel? What about the mysterious young woman from Parkview who played her guitar for Shane?

Tales from Fremont Street explores the interconnected lives of these characters through six stories written and drawn by all-locally-bred talent, including Evan Dent, The Fillbach Brothers, Ed Hawkins, Jarret Keene, Victor Moya, Pj Perez, Deryl Skelton, F. Andrew Taylor and Warren Wucinich, all wrapped in a cover painted by Jska Preibe and designed by Dylan Todd. This 48-page, black-and-white comic book anthology will debut at the Vegas Valley Comic Book Festival on Nov. 5, with all proceeds benefiting the Las Vegas-Clark County Library District Foundation’s support of the Comic Book Festival.
