Guns of Shadow Valley Kickstarter – BUY THIS!

We don’t pimp too many of the Kickstarter projects, but this is one you are gonna want to jump in on! Easily one of our favorite webcomics on the show, with gorgeous art and lots of horror and supernatural crammed into this western.

Dave Wachter and Jim Clark are comic creators and Wild West aficionados. Starting their comic book “The Guns of Shadow Valley” in a traditional format five years ago, they could not land a publishing deal, so they began a webcomic instead in the summer of 2009.
Since this humble beginning, they have had a large following of thousands of readers per week, over 100 pages of story, and nominations for Eisner and Harvey awards for excellence in digital publishing.
Then, everything came to a screeching halt.
“I’ve loved working full time with IDW and Dark Horse comics, but the paying gigs kept me from my dream project. It’s the one that I was really wanting to make a reality,” said Wachter.
So, the two decided to bring the story full circle by finishing the epic tale with an oversized, hardcover edition of The Guns of Shadow Valley.
“We have everything else in place, now we just need the financial resources necessary to complete the project,” said Wachter. “We are turning to Kickstarter and comic fans across the world for help.”
The goal is $24,000 which will complete the second half of the comic storyline, print the entire story as a hardcover book, and throw in lots of extra incentives.
“For us, this is our opportunity to finish what we started. Our readers have been begging us to start it up again,” said Clark. 
Readers can pre-order a signed and numbered copy of the hardcover edition for $30, and there additional benefits and rewards, such as T-shirts, original paintings, and even cameo appearances in the story.
Interested parties can visit the Kickstarter page at www.gunsofshadowvalley.com/kickstarter to learn more about the plans for the project and pre-order the book.
“We can’t wait to show everyone how this ends,” said Wachter.

Awwwww yeah! The Weiners enjoy getting their drink on, and so does Bobgar! So much so that Bob dedicated an entire web comic to activities of consuming alcohol! Check out some of the strips below and see the rest here

Bob is a member of the Earth 2 Podcast crew and one hell of a nice guy, but don’t tell him that we said that . . .

 

Webcomics – Tales Of A Checkered Man

We recently did a podcast of Webcomics with Episode 120 , but sadly, we just did not have time to talk about all of the comics we got to check out. Over the next couple weeks we will be posting a few to the website, and if we have time, do a mini episode to talk about a few more.

One of them I didn’t have a chance to talk about is a great title called Tales Of A Checkered Man, which should be perfect for fans of the golden age superheroes and even some of the pulp stars.

Click the below strip to enlarge it, and then head on over to www.thecheckeredman.com

Tales of a Checkered Man is a love letter to caped-crusaders, classic adventure pulps and traditional newspaper strips featuring a well-intentioned, but mostly inept, masked man of mystery who tries his best to strike fear into the hearts of the crooks and criminals of Exotic City. Who is this masked stranger? Where did he come from? Why does he choose to fight crime and evil and defend those who cannot defend themselves? What secrets lay hidden in his checkered past? No one knows… TOACM made its debut online on April 6th, 2010 and updates weekly.
