Story + Pictures
Hoyt Silva is a rising star in the grand universe of storytelling. From working on various titles for independent publishers to spearheading his own web-comic efforts through Webtoons Canvas. Hoyt brings the heat when it comes to telling a story. With so many fresh styles ranging from dramatic and serious to lighthearted and funny Hoyt’s constantly pushing himself out of his comfort zone in an order to bring comics to a broader audience.
Pushing Personal Boundaries.
I’m more comfortable outside of my comfort zone. If I don’t push my personal boundaries I grow bored of the status quo and that’s the most dangerous position to be in when doing illustration for a living.

Illustration by way of Storytelling
Visionary Direction
Storytelling is survival. It’s what separates us from all the other living things on the planet. We pass on what we know through morals, fables, and tales so those that come after us can learn from our successes and mistakes.
YUMI: SPY FATALE, BADDIE ROYALE is a modern-day spin on the spy-genre, told for a new generation. With a tone somewhere between Scott Pilgrim vs. The World and the Kingsman films, Yumi brings a breath of fresh air and an all-new spin on the action/spy stories we all love.
From award-winning writer Doug Wagner (PLASTIC, THOMAS RIVER) and rising-star artist Hoyt Silva (Last Stop, Mongrel) comes YUMI: SPY FATALE, BADDIE ROYALE, their 136-page original graphic novel.
