Author and Artist
John Hopkins
A keen curiosity for what lies beyond common knowledge shapes John’s character-driven storytelling. Following his muse, he created Lost Cactus, a comic strip set on an off-the-grid top-secret research base—think Area 51. The strip’s quick wit, fearless lampoonery, and supernatural mythology expanded from three panels into a shared universe of sci-fi short stories and epic full-length science fiction novels.
Sequels to John’s first sci-fi action-adventure trilogy and graphic novels featuring the expansive world-building of The Powers That Be | Lost Cactus multiverse are in the works.
Stay tuned and keep an eye on the sky.
