about Sparta and their use by the Republican party. In the spring of 2020, Cole drew criticism from the Greek media and the Mayor of Sparta in response to the article. His flash science fiction piece, also a political commentary, Congress Must Pass the Living Artists Act appeared in The New York Times in 2020. Cole’s first graphic novel Hundred Wolves was announced in early 2020 with Tony Akins as the artist and Vault Comics as the publisher. It was set in 17th century Ukraine with the story revolving around a mercenary husband/wife couple searching for their kidnapped daughter. Cole also published his 11th book, Sixteenth Watch with publisher Angry Robot in 2020. Tapping in to his service with the US Coast Guard, the novel is a scifi imagining of a future where the coast guard operates in space. In the summer of 2020, a comic artist alleged sexual harassment from Cole at a convention afterparty. Cole stated that while he recalled meeting the accuser six years prior at the convention in question, he had no memory of the alleged behavior. Due to public pressure following the allegation, Angry Robot announced they would not move forward with a sequel to Sixteenth Watch, and Vault Comics announced that the Hundred Wolves comic would no longer be released. His agent also announced he would no longer represent Cole as a client following the allegations.
