Crownover Series
Artwork by Adiantum Inanga.
Allow me to introduce Scott Crowover, a figure shrouded in shadows and secrets. In a world where every word counts, he navigates the murky alleys of intrigue with a sharp wit and an even sharper gaze.
Scott is a towering figure, exuding a raw power and surprising agility that contradicts his imposing stature. Once a lawman with a badge, he now navigates the city's underbelly, taking on odd jobs for those willing to pay for his distinctive brand of muscle. Locals have labeled him an "over the hill do-gooder," yet he possesses a taste for long overcoats, vintage Cadillacs, Cuban cigars, and fine whiskey—preferably when someone else is footing the bill.
This lifestyle only deepens his mysterious persona. Beneath the surface, Scott grapples with an unacknowledged mental struggle, likely a byproduct of years of substance abuse, leaving him shrouded in confusion, fragmented memories, and sporadic visions. He embodies the quintessential noir anti-hero, with creator DL Tracey likening him to "Hellboy in a trench coat" in his Crownover Series.

Innocence of Guilt
Where legends don’t rise. They crawl out of the wreckage.
Gritty, noir-inspired tone

The bills were piling up like dog shit in the living room—impossible to ignore, impossible to step around. At that point, any job looked like salvation. This one even shimmered like a golden opportunity: simple facts, a convicted man, guilt practically pre‑packaged. All I had to do was sign my name and cash the check. So why didn’t I see the danger barreling toward me like a freight train? Because, as my father liked to remind me, I wasn’t blessed with much intelligence. In his words, I was a dumb ass.
