Cthulhu vs. Uncle Sam!

Crimebuster

675 views

Hello, friends!

I'm excited to announce that my new comic book, Cthulhu vs. Uncle Sam, will be going live on Kickstarter on June 28

I think the high concept pretty much explains itself, but: at the height of World War II, a group of Nazi cultists attempt to summon Cthulhu. Only one person can stop them: Uncle Sam!

Unlike The Crimebusters, I am not doing the art for this. It just takes too long for me to draw, and I realized that if I want to produce more comics, I need to hire artists to draw my scripts. So this is my first experiment hiring an artist. If it works and I can recoup the costs, then it opens up a lot of doors for me to make more comics!

The artist on these is a guy named Jay Piscopo, who started in animation and is known for doing updates of public domain superheroes. 

Here's a look at the cover - logo is still in process:

Here's a preview of the first three pages:

This story also takes place in the Crimebusters universe, but 12 years earlier; Joe here is Officer Joe in the Crimebusters, and Granny Gumshoe also has a major role in this story. 

Since this is in color, it's going to cost more to print, and of course I had to spend a lot on the artist, so this Kickstarter has a much higher goal compared to The Crimebusters as I am aiming for $3000. I think we can get there as it's a fun story with a lot of crossover appeal. But we'll see how people react! Word of mouth is going to be very important, since I no longer have acgive Facebook or Twitter accounts to promote this. That's a major roadblock, but hopefully if people like the project, they will share it organically. 

Here's the link to the preview page - if you click on the "Notify me on launch" button you'll get a reminder when the project goes live. Thanks everyone!!
