About the series
In Tinseltown (2018–present, Alterna Comics), a struggling actor in Los Angeles discovers that the city’s glittering facade hides a supernatural underworld, where fame and horror are disturbingly intertwined. This five-issue series blends Hollywood satire with dark fantasy, examining the cost of ambition through a lens of eerie, character-driven storytelling. Written and illustrated by creator Matt Emmons, the comic offers a tight, self-contained narrative that captures the desperation and delusion of chasing stardom. It’s a sharp, low-key gem from Alterna’s indie lineup, notable for its moody black-and-white art and its concise, unsettling take on the entertainment industry.
