About The Book
A man follows a series of unending maps that keep him from getting older… but when he stops following them, his age quickly catches up.
In 1794, a young man named John is given a map. Curious, he follows it, and when he arrives at the end, he finds a similar map. This leads him to another, and then another, and on and on. Determined to find something, anything, else, he continues to follow these strange maps all over the country. Decades later, he learns that as long as he follows them, he doesn't seem to get older... and it's not until nearly a century later that he realizes when he stops, time begins to catch up with him. Torn between family and immortality, John must continually choose between living forever and having a life worth living.

Raves and Reviews
"...the art in “The Forever Maps” #1 is triumphantly innovative. Each character is hyper-realistic but ethereal, almost like they were illustrated with rotoscoping."
– Reece Guida, Multiversity Comics
"It’s the beginning of a tale of mystery and searching for life and family, one I’m happy to embark on with this creative team! Highly recommended!"
– Wayne Hall, Major Spoilers
"The Forever Maps #1 is a glimpse into the formation of a country and an examination of the moral character that defines today what it is to be Canadian. It’s a call to the ingenuity of exploration, the daring of dreams, and the unquenchable thirst for wonderment."
– Word of the Nerd
"I loved The Forever Maps world premiere issue. It brings you into a world of uncertainty and despair and doesn’t let go. By the end of the issue, this book has me thinking of comparisons to my own life. It also has me waiting for the collection of the rest of the story to release later this year! Make sure to jump on board!"
– Nolan P. Smith, Pastrami Nation
