What is ShutterBox about?
ShutterBox Book 1 is the story of Megan Amano, a photography attending Santa Monica College in Los Angeles. On the night of her high school graduation, Megan witnesses a quiet suicide; a young man walks slowly into the ocean fully clothed and disappears into the fog. Now, at night when Megan dreams, she leaves this world and finds herself as a living exchange student in the afterlife’s University for muses, Merridiah … and there she finds the young man waiting. The whole series deals with muses, their human clients, the 10,000 history of the brothers Damien and Adrien, and what this has to do with Megan’s past lives. Here’s an interesting aside: the main character in ShutterBox, Megan Amano, first appeared in a 4 page comic called Sub’Culture. Tavisha and I made Sub’Culture for Manga Newswatch in 1994 (published by Academy Comics). Here are the pages: 1, 2, 3, 4. VIII.
