Cardboard City

This is a collection of seven stories, all scripted by Zeljko Obrenovic, with the art from 4 artists.

"All of these stories are intimate and personal and yet they express universal truths about the nature of humankind. They are full of apparent coincidences but I can state with some conviction that every instance of synchronicity is crafted with great purpose. I invite you, the reader, to explore the layers of meaning for yourself."

(David Hine, writer and comics script writer - Strange Embrace, Silent War, The Bulletproof Coffin, X-Men, Daredevil)
