Our conversation focuses on Crescent City Monsters, which is a graphic novel series from DREAM FURY COMICS publishing company. The story incorporates supernatural elements from different cultures. What we call Creole Magic. The story introduces us to a sorcerer named Jonas and explores what happens when his life is violently taken away from him by the monsters of New Orleans. Jonas is a young blues musician deep-seated in that New Orleans supernatural world. Someone from that supernatural world puts a bounty on his head that not only changes Jonas’ life, but also the course of the entire supernatural world. Jonas is pulled back from the dead and desperately needs to find out who put the bounty on him.    https://dream-fury-comics.myshopify.com/  https://www.instagram.com/dreamfurycomics/?hl=en  https://www.facebook.com/DreamFuryComics
