Wyakin is a coming-of-age tale with the classic feel of a 1980’s adventure film. It’s the story of Owen, a young biracial boy tormented both by his classmates and his mother’s sinister new boyfriend. As the local sheriff investigates a grisly animal attack in the wilderness surrounding their small town, Owen discovers something hiding in the woods... something big. Something with teeth. Presented in starkly beautiful black and white, Wyakin is the story of a beautiful but tragic friendship, of trauma, loss of innocence, and the mystical bond between nature and humankind. Wyakin was written by Emmy Award-winner Ryan Barger and illustrated by Michael Marsicano, whose work has appeared in numerous publications including The New York Times, The Atlantic Monthly, GQ Magazine, and many others.
