Dreamlands Live on Kickstarter!

The campaign for the latest anthology I'm in has begun!

Hello, everyone! The Dreamlands Anthology from Warden Comics has officially launched on Kickstarter! It’s a cosmic horror anthology showcasing twenty different comics exploring Lovecraftian lore. The campaign began this past Sunday, March 1, and runs until April 1 with a goal of $5,000. It’s at almost $2K at time of writing, let’s keep the momentum going!

Here’s the main cover by artist Leonardo Colapietro:

I already had an idea for a cosmic horror story featuring Alban of the West, a reinterpretation of “The Dunwich Horror” that introduced a new color for his mysterious right eye and powers that he didn’t fully understand. My pitch to the editor was for “The Descent,” a six-page comic: “A lone gunman with supernatural powers rides into the Old West town of New Dunwich. After unsettling interactions with the residents, he is confronted with terrifying knowledge of the cosmos unlike anything he has ever experienced. Before he descends completely into madness, [spoilers].” I can’t give away the ending here! You’ll have to get the anthology to find out what happens next.

This continues my collaboration with my team for The Passion of St. Alban of the West, artist David Escobar and letterer Buddy Beaudoin. I was excited to see David render eldritch beings and Buddy select a font and design for the R’lyehian language. They did not disappoint! Here’s a promotional image:

I couldn’t be happier with this comic! I hope to work with Warden Comics again and that this generates interest for more comics with Alban of the West.

The Dreamlands Anthology will feature several other talented creators, including James Ferguson and a couple of people I know from The Comic Jam, Tom Lynott and KVGir. There’s a variety of tones, genres, and styles in this book!

I can’t wait to see this book come to fruition. Please spread the word and contribute however you can. Support indie comics! Thanks again for everything.
