True North (Book One)

Joseph White avatarJoseph Whitecreator

I’m Joseph White, a comic creator and illustrator with a passion for fantasy, adventure, and character-driven storytelling. I love building strange worlds, flawed heroes, emotional coming-of-age stories, and comics with bold visual energy. My work is focused on strong artwork, memorable characters, and stories that connect with readers who love indie comics, action, imagination, and heart. I use Comic Launch Lab to test ideas, gather honest feedback, and make my projects stronger before bringing them to a larger audience.

True North is an original fantasy comic set in the skybound world of Aetherra—floating islands, pirate crews, forbidden relics, and gods that don’t forgive. When a grieving boy is pulled into a world that runs on sacrifice, he learns the hard way: every act of creation demands a cost.

Aetherra is a mana-rich world of floating island realms suspended above an endless sea of clouds. Skyships link distant kingdoms, the sky shifts gold at dawn and teal at dusk, and every culture is shaped by magic and loss. The world is haunted by the legacy of its only alchemist—someone who proved that creation always leaves a debt.
