Books of Lore: The Kaynin Gambit

David Napoliello and Kevin Tucker scripted this 1998–1999 Peregrine Entertainment miniseries, with Philip Xavier providing the artwork across all four issues. The Kaynin Gambit unfolds a self-contained sci-fi/fantasy saga within the larger Books of Lore universe, focusing on a high-stakes gambit that tests its characters' cunning and resolve. It stands as a compact, creator-driven tale from the late-'90s indie boom, showcasing Xavier's detailed visuals and the writers' tight plotting.
