Jetta: Tales of the Toshigawa will be a part of Indy Comic Book Week

Hello, My name is Martheus Wade and I am illustrator/creator of Jetta: Tales of the Toshigawa. Glad to be a part of the indy movement.

Jetta: Tales of the Toshigawa was created in 1985 by Martheus Antone Wade, a graduate of the University of Memphis. Martheus’ love for martial arts, along with his talent as a graphic artist, was a natural fit for creating the characters and story line.
