Our Second Week Backer Bonus Wraps with a Bang: A Free Comic Download from an Oxymoron: Killing Time Creator Every Day This Week!
As a surprise bonus for all of our amazing backers, we're giving out a FREE Backers Only Digital Download every day, made possible by one of our amazing contributors. This is not only a chance to reward all of you with extra perks, but also to shine some light on the great talent involved, and hopefully encourage you to check out a new book!
Tuesday's Free Comic: Seven Years in Darkness - Year One #1
Click here to download Seven Years in Darkness #1 [PDF]
Seventy-two children are conscripted to the Academy of Black Magic for seven years and only seven will see the daylight again.
I'll be perfectly honest... when I first heard this pitch from Joe Schmalke, I was blown away. Seriously, his take on a "Hogwarts... but for dark wizards" coming of age story hit all the right bells in my publisher brain, and I'm thrilled for his success.
I also know this will be his main project for at least the next six years, so the time to jump on board an amazing saga is right now!
If you enjoy this first issue, and need more, you're in luck because Joe is running a short Kickstarter for the entire YEAR ONE volume of Seven Years on Kickstarter now. It's fully funded and into stretch goal territory.
We're backing and recommend you grab a copy too!

For the new Oxymoron anthology, Joe Schmalke drew a script from the writing team of Phil Butehorn and Brian Harris called "Final Solution" and featuring Oxymoron going after the biggest villain of the 20th Century.
I mean, who doesn't want to see Hitler take a sledgehammer to the face? And that's just page one!

For the new Oxymoron anthology, Glenn wrote a cracking 70's organized crime tale featuring a unique take on the disappearance of Teamster President Jimmy Hoffa.

A vampire settlement is surrounded by hostile werewolf tribes... It's a frontier of fang and claw with death and vengeance the common currency.
With a cracking script by Jim Alexander, art from Luke Cooper and Letters from Jim Campbell, this is a unique take on vamps vs wolves that you're going to want to sink your fangs into!
If you like the first issue and want to grab the complete story, you can find it in print on Amazon or Etsy, in Digital on Kindle, or over on Jim's site.
For the new Oxymoron anthology, I was honored to get a great WWI themed tale from Jim, drawn expertly by Alex Diotto (Indigo Children.)
Monday's Free Comic: The Adventures of Cthulhu Jr. #1 from Dirk Manning

When the lovable Cthulhu Jr. and a wannabe supervillain cross paths, hilarity and hijinks ensue in this new comic from the master of all things eldritch, Dirk Manning!
Dirk is serving up the free first issue of THE ADVENTURES OF CTHULHU JR. & FRIENDS he created with artist/co--creator Scoot McMahon. This is the first chapter (which was originally distributed for Halloween ComicFest 2019.)
For the new Oxymoron anthology, I was thrilled to have Dirk script a bizarre dark tale featuring his favorite Elder God, with awesome art from Dylan Andrews and colors from Miguel Marques.
I think you're going to really like what these fine gents pulled together for the anthology.
More surprises coming this week!
