Chris is right!

As a result, you should definitely be mentally prepared to tell your retailer that you would like to reorder a copy of HECTOR PLASM: HUNT THE BIGFOOT #1, because they may not have any on the shelves

We all deserve some new Hector Plasm

This guy at Pastrami Nation ranks Hector Plasm #1 (coming October 15) as 5 out of 5 Pastrami Nations, which I am pretty sure is the most Pastrami Nations you can have, just fyi

I have gotten to enjoy so many comics thanks to public libraries. The first time I read Watchmen, One Piece or Maus was from a library loaned copy. Check out The Unbelievable Gwenpool or any comic that might intrigue you from your local library.

Excellent time to support your local library.

Gwenpool from 2018 looking bummed and talking to future Gwenpool in the white space.

Gwen: But that is my timeline and it is ending...

Future Gwen: No, see, you still have an outsider's perspective. This moment right here? It's not just happening in February 2018, when Gwenpool #25 comes out. It's happening in June 2019 in the trade. And it's happening in September of 2025 when someone finds this in a library. And later. And later. And later.

Reminder that I have a horror comic coming out next month that you can still pre-order

Hector Plasm: Hunt the Bigfoot by me and Derek Hunter — ghosts, witches, cryptids, murder, secrets, all in one mystery

Hector Plasm cover by Nate Bellegarde. Hector looks at a reflection in a puddle made by a strange footprint and sees a monstrous silhouette behind him

Hector cover by Tom Fowler in the style of Frank Frazetta. Hector squares off against a Sasquatch in a pine forest

Interior page by Derek Hunter and Spencer Holt. Hector leaps out of a hunting blind and chases a strange ape-like figure into the woods

Unused cover concept by Derek Hunter. Hector battles a gross witch who has numerous monster babies coming out of her and attacking Hector

You should check out this thread...unless you think it might be too spooky for you

Benito Cereno @benitocereno.bsky.social · Sep 8

Even ghosts tell stories...and the name whispered in hushed tones over the dying embers of campfires past is that of the drifter, the con man, the shaman, the witch doctor, the exorcist... HECTOR PLASM.

Hector Plasm -- dark hair, pale skin, black leather clothes with orange highlights -- draws a mystically glowing sword as he is surrounded by grim grinning ghosts. From his mouth he exhales a fog of ectoplasm
