Stan Issue 6 COMING 2024
Stan is a 6 issue comic book series written and lettered by Rob Neil Gruszecki and illustrated by me, Nicole Gruszecki
"Stan is a story that takes place in Eternity, an office building sitting amidst a swath of existential nothingness known as the Naught. After a tumultuous war between celestials and their angels, Stan, a fallen, now serves a higher power. One where he sweeps the floors of the torture rooms in Hell. A pointless, redundant, infinitesimal contribution to an unfathomably large system that simply doesn't care."-Rob Neil Gruszecki
