Alex de Campi pioneered the digital comics movement in 2009 when she released Valentine across numerous platforms and in multiple languages/territories. The Eisner Award nominee was ahead of her time in understanding the power of the digital medium.

Now, de Campi has joined forces with Waid’s digital comics company, Thrillbent,for the release of Valentine Volume 2. The second volume will launch on the one-stop showcase for creator-owned digital comics on Thursday September 18.

Valentine finds out where his strange new friends are from… yet Nimue, the woman who rescued him, seems to have remained back in Europe. First, Valentine has to come to terms with magic. Then, he has to come to terms with the awful mistake he makes in brushing off a very prescient warning.
Bio of Alex de CampiAlex de Campi loves explosions and obscure film noir. She hates writing bios. She writes the comics SMOKE/ASHES and GRINDHOUSE for Dark Horse. She has directed a bunch of music videos for indie bands famous and not so famous. Rumours that she was the product of a secret Mi6 programme to create a race of genetically modified super-agents are, alas, entirely without foundation. The rumours that she snuck across the Russian border and spent many louche years in Hong Kong are completely true.
