Steven White, aka “Seven” is a graphic novelist, strategist, and creative storyteller celebrating his newly released first issue of Ancient Futures. Ancient Futures, a NEW #afropunk graphic novel series set in the not-so-distant future of Chicago, Illinois.

Artist, Aaron McConnell’s illustration career has led him to work on celebrated non-fiction graphic novels, but his love of fiction drew him to the world of #AncientFutures and Seven. The collaboration between Seven and McConnell is a perfect blend of story and art that unveils the quantum science complexities of Ancient Futures.

This graphic novel bridges the journey between the knowing and unknowing, the conscious and unconscious worlds.  Valentino Cruz will find himself lost in the chaos, grasping for the thread forward.

Just like Valentino Cruz, the main character, Ancient Future’s creator Seven was pursuing a glamorous international career – with a freshly minted advanced degree, advising the global elite and the shadowy enforcers that serve them …” hunting dangerous people for large sums of money.”

When the world changed and the glamour ended, Seven began to take the seeds of an idea, reflect on his own journey and develop it into a full-blown story – a curious investigation into an alter-ego… Valentino Cruz, is a character imagined 10 years earlier.

Ancient futures immerse you in a world of “what if” … What if you could choose your best life (Dope Life)? Would you do it?
