Nova Scotia-born cartoonist publishes 1st graphic novel with Dark Horse Comics

Mainstreet Halifax

In 2022, a graphic novel called Night At The Belfry was released digitally through Comixology Originals. AND just last month, it was published in print by Dark Horse Comics, one of the largest independent American comic book publishers. The story follows 74-year-old James — who was a boxer in his younger years — as he aims to pick up the gloves again. The cartoonist behind it is Nova Scotia-born Xavier Saxon. Mainstreet's Alex Guye reached Xavier at his home in Montreal. Here's part of their conversation, starting with Xavier explaining what inspired Night At The Belfry.
