Stitch Head: The Graphic Novel

In the dungeons of Castle Grotteskew, a small creature named Stitch Head comes to life, crafted by the extraordinary yet eccentric Professor Erasmus. For years, he exists in the shadows of the professor's other monstrous creations, feeling overlooked and underappreciated. However, everything changes when a travelling circus ringmaster arrives, presenting Stitch Head with an unexpected opportunity that could lead him to stardom.

The narrative explores themes of self-discovery, belonging, and the quest for acceptance, engaging readers with its mix of humour and poignancy.
