RPM Comics #2 is a collection of stories inspired by folklore, magic realism and real life. This sample story, "Around Here," is a classic folktale about gaining skill by going to the crossroads to make a deal with the devil. I've always enjoyed the way the tale subtly calls into question the very idea that a dichotomy between good and evil exists. I hope you enjoy this story too. RPM Comics #2 was printed with a grant from the Puffin Foundation.
