We’re about to enter the second day of the crowdfunding campaign for The Monster of Blackenstyne (not to be confused with Blackenstein), and we have raised 66% of our goal. It would be great if we could hit our goal today, and then start moving on to the stretch goals. Believe me, when you see the work of Marcelo Di Chiara and Pedro Estouco, you’ll fall in love with the Monster. You don’t even need to read all the words. Seriously. There’s actually a Black & White & Silent version of the comic that doesn’t have any of my annoying writing — just some truly amazing art, and a special cover by Alden Kaye and Chris Sotomayor. Click HERE to check out the campaign on Kickstarter.

The Monster of Blackenstyne (not to be confused with Blackenstein) has been a long time in the making, with several false starts and at least one big setback. But the debut issue/story is done, and I couldn’t be happier. The self contained 24-page story is drawn by Marcelo Di Chiara and colored by Pedro Estouco, and the comic itself is 40 pages, with a back-up story and a bonus pin-up gallery. This first issue is just beginning of something bigger — specifically a series of short stories featuring the Monster, which will be published here on my Patreon. Once there enough stories completed, a second physical issue of The Monster of Blackenstyne (not to be confused with Blackenstein) will be published. By backing the first issue on Kickstarter, and becoming a subscriber here on Patreon, you are helping to produce and publish more stories featuring the Monster.
