Super cool anthology of weird ass stories. I've got one in there about a Loogaroo, shape-shifting creature from Haitian folklore.

So, this was pretty awesome. Been watching Indie Comics Showdown for a while and tried to get our books on a few times.

Well, the wheel finally chose us, and... we won! Matt and Smurf were super complimentary, too, and these guys aren't afraid to level some criticisms

Was really hoping for Gray in the 8, but I am hopeful we'll get to see some of the chemistry between Odobert and Tel in the front line

A sweaty, panicky, middle-aged, male Steve Ditko character says, "I don't care about the REST of the human race! THEY'RE not important! But I'm too RICH to die!" From an early-60s pre-Marvel short story.

We’re almost 50% through the campaign since we launched on Wednesday afternoon, but there’s still a ways to go.

Want to find out what happens to this lady while she’s tracking down a centuries-old killer while being chased by man-eating imp creatures? Check out OLD DEVILS #2 on Kickstarter!
