The return of Jon Sable Freelance!

Ashes of Eden marks return to the form

Continuing with our commitment to bringing you the best in online comics, ComicMix is proud to announce the return of Mike Grell's Jon Sable Freelance in an all new adventure!

Jon Sable is many things: freelance bounty hunter, bodyguard, mercenary, even a children’s book author.  It’s true.  Under the pen name of “B. B. Flemm,” Sable is the author of a popular series of children’s stories about a troop of leprechauns living in Central Park. 

How did he get to this point in his bizarre life? Ivory poachers slaughtered his family when Sable was a professional hunter in Africa.  Deported back to the States, he drank himself to the bottom.  With the help of his mentor, Sonny Pratt, and his literary agent, Eden Kendall, he struggled to put his life back together.

In his newest adventure, Sable is hired by the head of an African diamond cartel to transport a magnificent raw diamond to an exhibit in New York. But his task is complicated by having to play escort, bodyguard and babysitter to the cartel’s corporate spokesperson, Bashira, a temperamental model with a history of drug problems. While Sable struggles to keep her under control and out of tabloid headlines he finds himself the center of a deadly hunt and a plot that reaches beyond the world of glamour and into the world of terror...

Jon Sable Freelance: Ashes Of Eden premieres today on ComicMix, with new installments weekly-- all online, all free!
