Might be a bit hard to believe that we've been working on COVALRIA* "officially" since October 2022. From small releases, DIY physical comic and zine prints, and loooooong, late night calls, we've been slowly brewing up our little world. However, in leu of wanting to make a good first impression, much of our work had been lost to the void… until now!
We hope that with this showcase of our early concept and finalized work from 2022-2025, you can see the incredible growth and development of the comic! Those first sketches, the rough drafts, the various misprints; they all helped shape our comic into what it is today.
This page serves to be a dedicated spot for Covalria's history, prior to June 2026.
