Also to be released at the prestigious event is S.T.E.A.M. – Island Under Siege, a self-published title by two Maltese creators – writer Ashley Eric Peschel and artist Peter Magro.

Set against the conflict of the Second World War, something terrifying has been released on the small island of Malta. Realising they are in over their heads, the local authorities request help in tracking a sadistic killer, whose body count already stands at five.

A special team is dispatched to deal with the murderer – and so the hunt begins on the war torn island for a killer that the team soon discover is unlike anything they have encountered before…. If this was not bad enough, the team also have to face off against a mysterious Nazi team, who are also hunting the killer, but for darker reasons.

This 158 page adventure full of action and comedy has been in the works for some time, but the creators are rightly proud of their work and will be talking about the project at a special event at the Convention.

Ashley Eric Peschel has been writing and creating stories since he was a little child. A self-confessed geek, he loves most franchises and comics, his favourites including Deadpool, Doctor Who, Star Wars and Transformers.

25 year old art teacher and artist Peter Magro has been fascinated by comic art his entire life. His first exposure to comics was The Beano’s Dennis the Menace, as well as the Maltese graphic novel by Victor Pulis,  L-Ewwel Assedju 1565. His art is greatly influenced by Marvel and DC, but he appreciates the expressive and minimalist style of Japanese Manga. His skills and techniques vary from ink to paints, as well as digital art, although he prefers to work by hand, since he feels that this makes an artwork more personal, which you can see from the samples from S.T.E.A.M. – Island Under Siege below.

Peter has been working on S.T.E.A.M. for the past three years with Ashley Eric Peschel and is one of the many talented Maltese creators exhibiting at the Malta Comic Con 2015.
