Creative Mussel presents a behind-the-scenes look at the Goat! Enjoy a new look at the incident on the Pope Lick Trestle

Creative Mussel is the indie publisher of MeSseD Comics, St. Malo: First Filipinos in North America, The Intrusion, Filipino Assassin: The Untold Story of Vincent Manago Hambright, Dr. Skintag, Grassman: Ohio’s Favorite Cryptid and The Goat: Pope Lick Creek Monster. and other creative projects. Now in it's ninth year, Creative Mussel seeks to be a publisher that supports diverse artists, promotes creators and makes untold stories accessible.

With the help of Artswave, we've decided to start tackling a new, untold story following the Manilamen of St. Malo, bringing light to the first Asian settlement in North America.

We're crisscrossing the state to celebrate AANHPI Heritage Month by sharing our stories -- St. Malo and Filipino Assassin -- to these incredible festivals across Ohio. The team and I will be on the ground next month sharing these amazing underrepresented narratives and connecting with audiences new and old.
