Demon of the Underground
Webcomic
Genre: Urban fantasy/Paranormal/LGBTQ
Pogo, a big-mouthed young thief from Chicago, falls through a hole in the ground and wakes up in a brutal underground world where survival is based on strength and intimidation. His only hope for escape is his telekinetic ability—and the help of a stray ferret named Annie.
In the underground, pride, brutality, and backstabbing are ways of life. Only the strong survive.
Pogo finds himself in the middle of a tug-of-war between the four underground spheres who want him for different—and often sinister—reasons. Jasper Samsid, King of the East Sphere, promises that if Pogo helps his sphere rise to the top, he will allow Pogo to return to the surface. But will the underground change Pogo? Why does he have a bleeding cross mark on his back? And why does he hear voices in his head that tell him to abandon his humanity? Is he really the demon his mom always told him he was? Are there any angels hidden away in the underground?

I’m Bob, and I’m a freelance illustrator, webcomic creator, and author from the Chicago suburbs. I like writing plot-driven stories about complex LGBTQ characters, and my favorite genres are urban fantasy, paranormal, mystery, and suspense. I’m also an animal lover. I’ve spent most of my life with ferrets and birds, and I can’t imagine being without them! I also have another webcomic called Into the Smoke.
