Hard to Swallow Kick Starter!

Hey All!

As you probably have noticed, we've had a kickstarter campaign going to fund the printing of the collected volume of Hard to Swallow Comics, put together by Zan of North West Press!

We passed the initial goal of $15,000 around midnight on Weds, and we have a few stretch goals in play now: hardcover editions if we reach $17,500, and a full color section including a cover gallery and color pin-ups if we reach the $20,000 mark. At the rate we are going, we will easily make the first stretch goal, and if momentum keeps we will make the second!
I had to kick and scream and generally make a fool of myself to get the color section goal included, so let's make my making an ass of myself worth it, Droogies!

Visit the Kickstarter page for the campaign here:

The book includes all four previous volumes of the celebrated smut-rag, and enough new material to constitute a new fifth issue.
Includes over three hundred pages of story from Justin Hall and Dave Davenport, and guest contributors Bil Sherman, Steve MacIsaac, Drub, Brad Rader, Victor Hodge, and Jon Macy... plus some sweet pin-ups from Julian Cardozo and William O. Tyler!

Set for a release date of March 7th, 2016 (at Emerald City comic-con in Seattle).

Fearful Hunter collected volume

fearful hunter

     If you've not read Jon Macy's Fearful Hunter, you are missing out on one of my favorite gay comics. Jon is a contemporary of mine in many ways, we both graduated high school from Monta Vista in Cupertino, California... the same year in fact, though we didn't meet until 2008. And we both make comics about gay werewolves. Fearful Hunter is a love story between a young druid, Oisin, who (against the commands of his superiors) falls for a steamy werewolf, Byron (who is not your average bloodthirsty lycanthrope).

     I won't give too much away. I'll just say if you like Feral and the Ghost Skater, you will like this book. You can pre-order the collected volume via the kick-starter campaign, where there is also a link to a free digital download of the first chapter of Fearful Hunter, so you can see for yourself.

     The collected volume also includes short back-up stories by many fine artists such as Steve MacIsaac, Justin Hall, Dylan Edwards, William O. Tyler, Agnes Czaja, Rene Capone, Sean-Z, and Sina Sparrow... plus the 4 page story "When Hairy met Selkie" by myself, a story I am very proud of.

We went to high school together, and both have gay werewolf characters.
Co-incidence?
