Graziani Industries would like to announce it's new webcomic series: Cy-Boar.

A mutated, cybernetic boar searches for his place in the world. Though he may seek peace, he usually finds skull-splitting action.

This comic series has been in development since 1989, when series creators John & Lou Graziani began drawing the adventures of an anthromorphic boar on plain copy paper. Now the entire archive of stories, over 250 pages, illustrated from 89 through the present, have been scanned and will be available online and in color, for the first time!

Cy-Boar will be updating every Thursday
