Burned Oak #1, Stuart Rumbel (illustrator), Stuart Rumbel , single work graphic novel fantasy

'A burnt-out gladiator and his number one fan must race to uncover the cause of a terrible curse placed upon him – spontaneous human combustion – before it consumes him in a grisly, fiery death! 

'In issue 1, we meet Calgary Redglove, a forensic consultant for the crown; Oak, a gladiator who may or may not be suicidal, who sells his sword to worthy causes; White Braid, a child protection proponent who is older than she looks; Lisa, an abused, neglected little girl who has somehow escaped her abuser; and Kallow, Oak’s adoptive father, who tortures violent criminals to death for a living. Oak barely survives his first attack of spontaneous human combustion, and he and Calgary must search for clues regarding its origins.'

Burned Oak #3, Stuart Rumbel , Stuart Rumbel (illustrator), single work graphic novel fantasy

'In issue 3, we discover Oak’s most terrible secrets, and the trio of Oak, Calgary and White Braid confront the cannibal cult responsible for his terrible curse, and Lisa’s abduction and torture, in a bloody showdown that will scar Oak forever.'

Burned Oak #2, Stuart Rumbel , Stuart Rumbel (illustrator), single work graphic novel fantasy

'In issue 2, Calgary barely manages to save Oak from a second, more severe attack of spontaneous human combustion, and the two lose Lisa in an arson attack on White Braid’s child refuge. The trail of evidence leads them back into Oak’s long suppressed past, and he must confront his demons to find answers.
