We Are Stone Harbor Comics!
An indie comic book company driven to provide new and engaging science fiction stories that champion diversity for the current and next generation!
OUR PURPOSE
A shift is happening in the entertainment industry. People from all walks of life demand representation in the content they consume. It's a battle cry that we can no longer ignore. The arrival of Black Panther and Shang-Chi is proof of this. However, there is still much work to be done, especially in the science fiction space. These exuberant stories of amazement and wonder have historically targeted a particular group, thus excluding people of color. The purpose of Stone Harbor Comics is to place a more diverse group of characters in the captains' chair of their own spectacular folklores for the next generation to enjoy.
THE COMICS
Legend of Althea
Legend of Althea is a sci-fi/coming of age story about a teenage girl named Althea who receives the ability to heal people following an artificial heart transplant. After her dad succumbs to an unknown terminal illness, Althea must learn to harness her new powers to save her dad before his time runs out. But when The Wolf Pack, a notorious street gang, learns of her abilities, they seek to use Althea for their own selfish agenda. As if trying to finish high school wasn’t hard enough!
BioPunks
BioPunks is a sci-fi/action story about three physically altered subjects who gain special powers from an experimental procedure meant to cure them. Now they must band together to fight off a relentless force who seeks to harness the source of their power, The Spinal Core.
OUTCASTS
OUTCASTS is a gritty sci-fi/action story about Aaron, a former super-soldier afflicted with chronic asthma, who is cast out of the covert government program that created him. Armed with his specialized Battlehaler, Aaron takes to the streets as a vigilante, seeking redemption. His quest for reinstatement leads him to uncover a deep-rooted conspiracy that threatens to unravel the very fabric of his society.
The Stone Harbor Comics Universe
All three of our series occur in the same near-future of a new/altered version of the city of Los Angeles, where technology has advanced to where artificial heart transplants are standard practice, new age of neurotechnology is transpiring, and genetically enhanced super soldiers exist. The government and corporations are in an unprecedented technological arms race to discover new ways to improve people's lives and protect our country, that will, in turn, make them lots of money. But will the ends justify the means?
ABOUT THE CREATOR
Royce Adkins is a filmmaker, comic book author, and all-around sci-fi head. At a young age, Royce was compelled to tell his own stories when he realized there was a need for more representation in the films he watched and the comics he read. There weren't enough characters who looked like him, especially in the science fiction space. Now being a father,
Royce wants to help ensure his kids will have access to stories where they feel included.
Refusing to wait on Hollywood to accomplish this goal, Royce turned to the comic book community where he has been met with overwhelmingly positive feedback and support after launching his first two comic book series, BioPunks and Legend of Althea under his comic book company, Stone Harbor Comics. Now with his third series, OUTCASTS, coming soon Royce aims to take that support even further with a mission to tell a plethora of stories that resonate with others who desperately want and deserve to be seen!
