Star author Olivie Blake and artist Little Chmura reunite for another round of seduction, manipulation, and Faustian bargains with Clara & the Devil, Volume 2, which brings new meaning to the term “dark academia.”
A lot has changed since the summer the devil came to Clara’s hometown. Now, newly inspired and in control of her life, Clara is pursuing her literary dreams in grad school, while her steadfast boyfriend, Jonah, collects new accolades on the stage. With everything falling into place, there’s no reason for Clara to fear the devil’s reappearance—until she begins to suspect his attention has strayed to a new victim.
Meanwhile, Gus, an aspiring playwright on campus, encounters a devil of his own: a mysterious barista who plies him with decadent treats and prying questions. But while Gus is tempted to indulge his sweet tooth, he believes he must hold fast to a rigid, monastic lifestyle in order to achieve his lofty ambitions. Nothing will distract him from his goals—not the girl he can't have or the sinister secrets he must keep. And certainly not the devil.
The series deal announcement and Volume 1 cover reveal posts received over 6,000 likes each on Instagram, and early reactions to the ARCs include what we’ve most hoped for from this series: first-time graphic novel readers falling in love not only with Olivie and Chmura’s work, but with the medium itself. This seven-book series will publish twice a year, from 2026 to 2029.
