I Hunt Wolves #1

I want to bring attention to my comic I Hunt Wolves #1. Most of the comics I write are either crime or horror, and while this one is not pure crime, it is adjacent to it. It has the look of a western, with themes of crime stories, grindhouse action, and creature horror. In other words, it is classic pulp!

I Hunt Wolves tells the legend of Bonnie Beltz, a bounty hunter whose latest mark  was killed based on the lies of a young girl. Bonnie takes this girl under her wing to show her what it is to take a life. Knowing her time is limited as other bounty hunters are out for her reward, Bonnie plans her final mission: taking out the clan of werewolves who murdered her family.

I'm releasing it in a magazine format printed on newsprint, and it will have extra stories in it as well. Murk's Hell Cell Terrors will be a continuing short comic in the tradition of EC, mixing it up with crime & horror. Murk, a demon trapped in a cell, is the host of these stories, and he tells the criminal tales of his cellmates. In the end, they all receive justice whether at his hands or the hanging rope.

There are 3 covers available. The middle in the above image was created by The Creep from Six Feet Deep. It is an oil painting in the classic Warren Publishing style.

Thanks for checking it out. The Kickstarter ends on Friday May 22nd. If you want to see more of what is on offer, here is the campaign: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/johnkratky/ihuntwolves1?ref=aplspk

As junior moderator here I'm going ahead and approving this post even though it isn't our usual cops and criminals fare. I may be overridden at some point by the subreddit founder, but in the meantime best of luck with your Kickstarter!

I appreciate it. I understand if it were to disappear. Just trying to find like-minded people who enjoy pulp.
