The Creative Writing Club happily welcomes Raul Alvarado Montano, class of 2027, as he introduces a substantial new work, Bex or Y, to this audience. Raul is developing comic characters and storylines in manga style, and sharing Bex or Y is a precursor (we hope!) to some of that other work.
Stay tuned as the Club is planning for one last issue next month before the end of the school year.
Happy spring!
Sincerely,
Mr. V-K

Moderator's note: Before 451Press was 451Press, it was The Serra Scroll, "a creative writing class project under the direction of Mr. Roger Lanzini." In our archives we have vol. 1, no. 1 of the Serra Scroll, dated December 1980. In the spirit of our issue title, "Something New," here are two works from a school project in its infancy, something new from 43 years ago. - Mr. V.-K.
