THE SL-9 FILES:

About

2025 marks the 20th anniversary of Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney’s first western release and DS port — which was also the first time the infamously long final case Rise from the Ashes was included with the game.

The SL-9 Files — a Rise from the Ashes anthology is an unofficial fanbook designed to celebrate this anniversary and show off some of the talents the fandom has to offer.

The Team:

FUZZ

project lead

I’m fuzz, and this is my first time heading up something like this! I’m producing the promo artwork, managing our web presence and directing the project. I’m a long–time Ace Attorney fan (and a longer-time comics fan…) so I really wanted to put together a project that lets fan comics take the spotlight! I’m nuts about RftA, and this project is a big love letter to the cast of characters that have gotten me back into posting art over the last year or so.

Comic artist @ In Defense of My Heart
Splash artist @ Ace Attorney Calendar 2025
