After All These Years, Can You Finally Say Who You Really Are? (18+)

An erotic Lupin III fancomic, where Zenigata is conflicted about his feelings for other men and unexpectedly meets Jigen at a gay bar.

"After All These Years Can You Finally Say Who You Are?" cover and back cover in one image. Both are done in a noir detective book cover style with lots of grungy textures in purple, yellow, orange and blue. Text in black on a yellow banner at the top reads "Paperback preorders open @topazcomics.com/shop - $15CAD". The front cover shows Zenigata standing against a wall with his hands in his pockets looking to the left at a gay bar sign glowing behind him. "18+" is in the bottom right corner. The back cover shows a similar set-up but from the perspective of the gay bar sign, we are looking up some stairs to see Zenigata and Jigen from behind as they walk away into the night arm in arm under a bright streetlamp. Text reads "A NSFW Lupin III fancomic, where Zenigata is conflicted about his feelings for other men and unexpectedly meets Jigen at a gay bar." A yellow circle is in the corner showing a sticker of Jigen and Zenigata's hats on top of one another with hears coming off of them. Text reads "All paperback orders come with a sticker"

Promo image of "After All". Text in black on a yellow banner reads "Digital Download @ jeypawlik.itch.io - $8USD" The image shows two comic pages from the zine. Page 1 shows Zenigata's men searching one of Lupin's hideouts and finding a gay men's porn magazine. One officer asks Zenigata "Inspector. Do we have protocol for handling this?" he looks nervously as he holds up the magazine which shows a nude male model from behind. Page 2 shows Zenigata looking surprised then becoming serious. He says "It's evidence, put it with the rest." A timeskip happens and Zenigata is in a hotel room doing paperwork, he looks serious.

Promo image of "After All". Text in black on a yellow banner reads "Bonus: Chapter 3 has both a transJigen version and a cisJigen version!" The image shows a comic page from the zine twice, but with slight differences, the first showing Jigen wearing a binder and the second showing Jigen wearing a tank top. Jigen takes Zenigata's right hand and presses it up against his own chest, he takes Zenigata's left hand and places it near his own ass. The two kiss deeply on the hotel bed. Jigen leans in and says "That's it, stud."

On The Job

Lupin pops into Zenigata’s office for a surprise. But once he’s there things get a bit out of hand.

Cover illustration of the Lupin III fancomic "On The Job". A black background with a window above the title showing Zenigata from the nose down blushing as his tie is held by Lupin's hand which comes from the bottom of the window.

Comic page from "On The Job", Lupin has been thrown under a desk and his limbs are in an awkward position. Light speechbubbles bubble around him as Zenigata speaks to his commissioner. We see a shot of Zenigata standing behind the desk from Lupin's perspective, him focusing on Zenigata's crotch with a large grin.

Swim On 2024 Pieces

Cover image of Swim On, Blue Planet. A whale shark swims through the ocean being followed by a school of fish. The text "A shark zine for charity edited by Jey Pawlik" at the bottom.

Illustration of a necklace carpet shark seen from above, it's curled up in a circle sitting over a hoard of treasure like gems, coins, pearls, and a sword. Comic about Swell Sharks. Panel one, a sign that reads "Shark PCA" with two swell sharks next to it nuzzling each other. Narration reads "Looking for a new best friend? We have a great selection of Swell Sharks!" Panels three to five are all circular, in a row, and showing the Swell Shark glowing in the dark. Narration reads "They glow in the dark! Great for: Raves, Nightlights, The Abyssal Plane!" Panel six, narration reads "They inflate!" and we see the Swell shark sitting on top of the water all puffed up and smiling. Text reads "Have a pool party!" Panel seven, a Swell shark wearing a dog collar and barking. Text reads "Impress your friends with their ability to bark!" Panel eight, a Swell shark smiling against a retro styled background with 90s triangles around it. Narration reads "These sharks are swell!"

The pieces I did for the last Swim On zine, which you can still support! It was such a tough decision to stop Swim On after this but it’s gotten so much bigger than I ever expected and I just don’t have enough time anymore to put into it. I may come back to it at some point, but for now 10 volumes was a good place to say goodbye!

Lupin’s Gourmet World Zine Piece: Eggnog

Comic page, with black lines and minimalist colouring. Panel one, Lupin is in a kitchen whisking some liquid in a glass bowl. He's wearing a pink Santa hat and singing. Lupin dialogue: Oh quand j'entends sonner au ciel. Panel two, Lupin is using a ladle to pour the liquid into three tall glasses. Panel three, in a living room Lupin is handing Goemon one of the three glasses. Lupin is holding one for himself and Jigen has one as well, but is reaching off panel for something. Goemon dialogue: What is this? Lupin dialogue: Eggnog! Panel four, similar panel as to panel three but Goemon is looking concerned at his glass, Lupin is pointing to Jigen angrily, and Jigen is pouring whisky into his own glass. Goemon dialogue: Egg... as a drink. Lupin dialogue: Jigen! There's already run in it!
Michelle and I did a comic for the Lupin’s Gourmet World zine. How it worked was chef’s submitted recipes and an artist got paired up to each recipe to illustrate it. So we got Sel’s eggnog recipe, which I did actually make myself successfully!
Photo of two glasses of eggnog with a full mason jar of eggnog beside them.
Michelle submitted two recipes as a chef as well; spicy pickles and danmuji!
