LOST&FOUND is a story about two kids who find each other in New York City. Henry, nè Sral, is a shape-changing interdimensional reptile and Joel can start fires with his mind.

Joel bumps into Henry, who is in rough shape after escaping a supervillain. After Joel’s help, Henry discovers that Joel is in a jam and he decides to return the favor by going up against the drug gang controlling Joel.

Liberating Joel doesn’t quite go the way Henry expected…

LOST&FOUND is a 144 page, full color comic told in five chapters. .PDFs are available for purchase from my Patreon as well as on Drive ThruComics.

LOST&FOUND 01: adversity makes strange bedfellows

The cover of Lost&Found 01 showing Henry and Joel back to back in front of a view of New York City.

Sral is an unintentional immigrant from another dimension. His latest scrap with Captain Chaos leaves him blind and trapped in an abandoned underground laboratory. After escaping the lab and shapeshifting into his human alter ego, Henry Horn, he stumbles across a street kid named Joel. Joel thinks Henry is high, and that it might be his fault, so he agrees to take Henry to a halfway house for help. Joel’s plans are thwarted by a police presence outside the facility, forcing Joel to take Henry back to his apartment.

Will Henry be able to rely on Joel’s help? Has Joel made a horrible mistake in taking Henry home? Find out in this issue of LOST&FOUND.

At Joel’s apartment the boys have a rough night. Henry unintentionally reverts to his reptilian form after falling asleep. Joel has a horrible nightmare and a corner of his apartment bursts into flame!

In the discussion that follows after the fire is put out, Joel is surprised to discover that Henry’s not human, and Henry is pretty sure that Joel can start fires with his mind, although Joel doesn’t believe him. Pushing for more information about Joel’s nightmare, Henry learns that the boy is being abused and vows to help him.

But what then? Henry can’t turn Joel over to the authorities if he can start fires. Find out in this issue of LOST&FOUND.

LOST&FOUND 03: the best laid plans to astray

After a night of revelations, morning dawns with Joel remembering that he forgot to do a very important thing the night before – deliver the money and drugs to the gang. Henry reassures Joel that his life in New York is over, and once they rescue Mandy, they’re all going home to Detroit.

Unfortunately, a couple of the gang members come looking for Joel and Henry needs to deal with them while protecting Joel from harm. Once Dex and Jonsey are bound and gagged in Joel’s apartment, Henry heads outside with Joel to call his dad, Bruce Horn. Henry takes his eyes off of Joel for a moment–just long enough for the rest of the gang to collect Joel and make off with him.

Will Henry get to Joel in time? Find out in this issue of LOST&FOUND.
