Once Upon A Caper was created as a showpiece for myself as a writer and as a first time self-publisher. Along the way, I liked the idea so much that I realized this could be a whole lot more than a single issue one-shot. The story of Sovena Lovstok / Little Red Cape began forming nearly a decade ago, but it only came to fruition as a filler project inbetween projects with my artist wife. I wanted to make a comic aimed at an "all ages" readership that still had the depth to interest an adult reader. Basically, I wanted to create something I would want to read! I'm biased, naturally, but the pint-sized defender of Earth seemed to leap off the paper and inspire the story herself. I hope you will enjoy spending time with Sovena and discovering her tale as much as I have enjoyed seeing her transition from my imagination into a tangible comic book heroine.
