Each volume in the Tony Sandoval library delivers a haunting, painterly experience rooted in emotion, mystery, and otherworldly charm.

The Dragons of Paris

A secret pact is broken, and ancient dragons rise from beneath the streets of Belle Époque Paris. With a mermaid in tow and gargoyles coming to life, a two-fisted Hawaiian princess must race through the catacombs to stop the awakening of a magical war.

DoomBoy

After the death of his girlfriend, a lonely teen channels his grief into thunderous guitar riffs—broadcasting his pain across town and becoming an underground legend. A raw and honest look at love, loss, and the soul of heavy metal.

Watersnakes

When a quiet girl befriends a mysterious new classmate, she discovers a ghostly warrior spirit living inside her—teeth and all. Together, they unlock a haunting underwater realm where friendship, fantasy, and ancient curses collide.

1000 Storms

In this spiritual follow-up to Watersnakes, a misunderstood girl discovers a portal to another world—one filled with demons threatening to invade her own. A moody, magical tale about fear, strength, and the power of being different.

A Glance Backward

After a family tragedy, young Joey slips into the walls of his home and enters a surreal realm of memories and meaning. A poetic journey through grief, illustrated with dreamlike intensity and emotional resonance.

Rendez-vous in Phoenix

Based on Sandoval’s own story, this autobiographical graphic novel follows his harrowing, illegal journey across the US-Mexico border — all for love. A deeply personal and timely look at immigration, sacrifice, and the pursuit of connection.

The Windy Day

When a young girl’s peaceful afternoon turns stormy, she’s rescued by a gentle black wolf named Courage. Together, they take to the skies — learning how to let go of fear and fly higher than ever before.
