Los Angeles, 2009: Crime rules the streets, and survival is a game with no winners. A crew of hardened thieves, desperate to stay afloat, gets cornered by the last kind of trouble they need: the ruthless daughter of a notorious arms dealer. She’s got dirt on them, and one demand: steal an ancient artifact from a train tearing across the desert at 120 miles per hour.
But nothing about this job is what it seems. As they dig deeper, they uncover a conspiracy stretching across centuries; one that could rewrite history and decide the future. Caught in a deadly web of power, deception, and violence, the crew must fight to escape with their lives… and maybe, just maybe, change the course of fate itself.
My name is Clarke Buchanan. I'm an illustrator living in Westerville, Ohio. SHARKTOOTH is my first official foray into comics, but it is also a love letter to my childhood. I asked myself, what would 13 year old me want to see? SHARKTOOTH is inspired by the feeling of sitting in front of a television as a kid, popping in an R rated VHS with a cool cover, and discovering something you've never seen before. I hope you enjoy it.
