Penny-Farthing Press (PFP) returns for their third visit to New York Comic Con (Booth #1513) with the debut of their new graphic novel, Anne Steelyard and the Garden of Emptiness: An Honorary Man. This exciting new graphic novel chronicles the life of Anne Steelyard, a young British woman who is searching for her independence in the mysterious deserts of Mesopotamia while the world is on the brink of World War I. Anne Steelyard is written by bestselling author Barbara Hambly (Patriot Hearts, the Benjamin January mysteries, The Emancipator’s Wife) and the exquisite cover art is by legendary artist Glen Orbik.
