Each 62 page book is only $15!  Books will go out the first week of November.  Each pre-order comes with a membership to the as yet unnamed Really White Vigilante Fan Club. 

The sordid tale of one young man's attempts to stop the gentrification of East Austin is now published and ready to go in comic book form. 

The 62 page comic book details one young man's quest to save East Austin from developers and yuppies from overrunning the cultural uniqueness of the traditionally forgotten half of Austin.

Throughout the book, our hero fights the good fight, armed with bitter wit and a daydreaming mindset, he hopes to stop the construction of lofts and the influx of yuppies into East Austin that is pushing out long time residents and forever changing the tone of the neighborhoods. 

Along the way, he meets a mysterious masked woman who also hails from East Austin.  Will sparks fly?  Will East Austin be saved?  Is anything worth saving?

Find out in the Tales of the Really White Vigilante.
