Chigaco Typewriter is an Urban Fantasy graphic novel published in 2018 by Arkhaven Comics under the Dark Legion imprint. It was written by Brandon Fiadino, his debut.In 1920s Prohibition-era Chicago, Emilio Enzo's dealings with criminal gangs have attracted a grim retaliation. He was expecting violence; what he gets is a demon stealing the soul of his girlfriend, Katherine.While seeking help, he visits a curiosity shop and finds an antique typewriter ribbon infused with the blood of its late owner, Remì Geroux. Enzo spools the ribbon into his own typewriter and it begins typing of its own accord, sending Enzo a message.A digital version of the comic is available at Arkhaven. |

Shout-Out: The curio shop where Enzo buys the ribbon is called "Poe's Oddities". The shingle has a picture of a raven. Hades' club is called the 9 Circles. The name, and the areas within, refer to The Divine Comedy. |
