Żużel and the Fox is a graphic novel in progress. It will tell the story of a spy (Rudek the fox) and an orphan (a kitten nicknamed “Żużel”) teaming up to foil a Nazi plot.
You can read an overview and history of the project here. You can read about why I write anthro comics here.
While the novel is under development, you can read the prequel webcomic, Rudek and the Bear.

Rudek and the Bear: Volume 1 in Print
In 2015, I crowdfunded a limited print run of the first fifty comics. The campaign was such a success I was able to produce a beautiful hardcover with all the trimmings. The book contains exclusive comics, illustrations and notes.
The original hardcover is currently unavailable. However, the Volume 2 campaign garnered enough support to make a paperback reprint of Volume 1 possible. The paperback will be available in September, 2021.
