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.

Better fiction is built on historical fact. That belief led me to a crucial collaboration that has shaped the very foundation of this comic.
