I was told by certain publishers that The Monster of Blackenstyne (not to be confused with Blackenstein) was “too violent” to be published. Really?! Too violent?! Do these panels by Marcelo Di Chiara and Pedro Estouco look “too violent” to you?! This kind of nonsense is why I’m self-publishing The Monster of Blackenstyne (not to be confused with Blackenstein) — because the reality is that I have a story that needs to be told, and I’m not going to let anyone get in my way…or the way of the Monster. We are on Day 3 of the Kickstarter campaign, and we have reached 79% of our initial goal, which means we need around 60 backers to hit our goal. And then from there, we can focus on stretch goals, and raising enough money to help fund more stories featuring the Monster (he has an actual name, BTW — but you’ll need to get the comic to find out his origin story). Please, take a moment to check out the campaign, consider backing it, and tell your friends and family. Here’s the link…https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/dfwalker/the-monster-of-blackenstyne
