"A literary and visual feast," – Kirkus Reviews.
All six issues of Nick Hermes's genre-bending Western revenge tale,
The Black-Jack Demon, are being collected with a
Crowdfundr-exclusive cover.
"It sounded good, but boy let me tell you this is so much
better than I could have hoped for,” raved Steven
Leitman from
G
ƎEKS.
Nick began toying with this idea years ago during his time as an oil
painter represented out of a gallery in Santa Fe, and finally took the
plunge to return to his childhood love of comics. Issues 1-3 released
in 2020-2021 and the remaining issues of Book One will be completed in
early fall.
In addition to the trade paperback with a
Crowdfundr-exclusive cover, we'll also be offering the chance to nab
limited edition copies of issues 4, 5, and 6. There will be original
sketches by Nick as well as a grab bag of LP issue ones.
Proceeds from the campaign will go to Nick to help him set aside time to begin work on the next project in the Black-Jack Demon series.
