hey! you can pre-order "Super Itis: Special Edition," a reprint of my comic from 2017 featuring an exclusive new cover and a mac & cheese recipe from me. shoutout to @wildsignalinc.bsky.social for working on this with me
Super Itis by Richie Pope — Wild Signal
A common folk phenomenon turned into a meditation on self-care. Super Itis sees a delicious soul food specter guide our hero through personal crisis to an epiphany regarding his own well-being.
