For graphic novelist Andre Frattino, growing up in Gainesville and visiting St. Augustine as a child has spawned more than family photo albums.
His previously self-published graphic novel, “The Reaper of St. George Street,” has been published by Pineapple Press and can be found on Amazon and Barnes and Noble Booksellers.
“I’ve been in love with the St. Augustine area ever since I was a kid, and I catch myself on many occasions almost calling St. Augustine my hometown,” Frattino, 28, said.

Langhorne Slim and the Law will be playing the Original Café 11 on Saturday, March 10 and will bring a gospel sound with a rock and roll feel.
Langhorn Slim fits into the folk, singer-songwriter genre and going to his live performances could be described as a gospel-like experience. This is because his creative process requires three aspects that bleed into his live performances.
“Pay attention to the spirit when it moves you. Try to write down every idea. Feed inspiration with love,” Slim said.
