Kolchak did it again! We broke $100,000 on our new campaign and have more than 2000 backers (a personal record).
The campaign has only a few hours left and we're close to selling out of the limited-edition hardcover of The Night Stalker reprint. As of now, only about 90 copies remain. I won't be printing this edition again, so when these are gone, they're gone.
NEW KOLCHAK BOOK
I've added an ebook anthology called KOLCHAK ERAS which features original prose stories of Carl throughout his career. At least two of the stories are brand new and the others are reprints from the prose stories in the deluxe 50th anniversary graphic novel, which were never offered in a stand-alone book until now. Authors include David Avallone, Owl Goingback, Lisa Morton, Will McDermott, Bobby Nash, and others. It's available for only $6.
NEW STRETCH GOAL
We hit another stretch goal. Now everyone who gets a physical reward will get a free print of the cover.
ORIGINAL ART
We're offering Russ Braun's original artwork from the novel, available as add-ons.
Campaign ends Thursday, July 11 at 11:59 PM EST
Thank you all for supporting the campaign — Monstrous Books is off to a great start with Kolchak. Big things are happening!
An all-new supernatural horror-noir graphic novel from Steven S. DeKnight, the creator and showrunner of SPARTACUS, and Leno Carvalho
There's a new Kickstarter campaign for HARD BARGAIN, a graphic novel from film and tv powerhouse Steven S. DeKnight (Buffy, Angel, Daredevil) and acclaimed artist Leno Carvalho (Dean Koontz’s Nevermore). The dark supernatural thriller follows a hard-boiled P.I. in 1940s Los Angeles who finds himself fighting not only the usual cadre of criminals and ne’er-do-wells—but also demons, monsters, and other malevolent supernatural beings—as he races to solve a deadly mystery before a horrific fate descends upon everyone it touches.
Steven S. DeKnight got his start in the entertainment industry as a staff writer on the groundbreaking television series Buffy the Vampire Slayer before going on to write, direct, and produce on the series Angel, Smallville, and Dollhouse. He is the creator and showrunner of Spartacus, as well as the executive producer and showrunner of season one of the a the acclaimed Marvel/Netflix series Daredevil. He’s also written Wastelanders comics for Marvel.
