Royal Comics is a work place comedy about a start-up small press independent comic book company struggling to make ends meet. The story focuses on the relationships of editor-in-chief Mario Coelho (Vladimir Perez), publisher and head writer Deirdre Sullivan (Daina Schatz), head artist Paul Foster (Dan Russell), and their faithful assistant intern Office Monkey (Joe Leonardo). Having left a larger publisher due to artistic differences, Mario, Deirdre, and Paul attempt to work together to self-publish comic books of artistic merit. However, they are constantly encountering roadblocks such as artistic blocks, missed deadlines, ego-maniacal writers, self-destructive artists, and romantic heartaches.
