Alex Assan

Shaderunners is an ongoing webcomic drawn by Alex Assan and written by Lin Darrow. The story is set in an alternate 1920s where the prohibition of alcohol is instead a prohibition of colour, and the story follows a group of bootleggers who steal shade from the rich in hopes of opening a colour speakeasy.

​

The comic launched in July, 2015 and has been updating consistently with two pages per week since then. It was picked up by Hiveworks Comics in April 2017 and is currently being digitally published by them. It was nominated for a DiNKy Award in the 'Best Web Comic' category in 2018, as well as a PRISM Award for Excellence In LGBTQ+ Comics in the Webcomic category in 2021.
