About Me

We are Illusive Arts Entertainment, LLC, a multi-media dream factory, dedicated to publishing creative lies and renegade truths by any means necessary.
We publish two comics right now. We create a comic book called Dorothy , which is a modern re-imagining of the Wizard of Oz, which is in very unique artistic style known as fumetti. The other comic we publish is called Tony Loco , which is a supernatural thriller that evokes Don Quixote.
Our comics are available in comic stores through Diamond, Cold Cut and Baker & Taylor and Amazon. Or buy them directly from us .
Dorothy Volume I contains Issues 1- 4. Diamond is still stocking Issue 6 and Issue 7, which was just released February 28th. We'll put out Volume II once we finish Issue 8... sometime in the next 6-9 months.
Tony Loco Issue 2 will be in stores May 2. Place your order for it now.
