Gutter Magic: Smoke & Mirrors

In Gutter Magic: Smoke & Mirrors, writer and artist Fei Chen conjures a gritty urban fantasy for Source Point Press, where magic is a grimy, street-level currency. Launched in 2020, this four-issue series follows a world where spells are cast through cigarettes and cheap tricks, blending noir detective tropes with occult desperation. Chen’s moody artwork and tight plotting make it a standout indie meditation on power and addiction in a world where even magic comes with a price tag.
