Kickstarter For Wolverton, Thief of Impossible Objects Issue# 2 Has launched!

When we last saw Jack Wolverton, he had just stolen the enchanted Monkey's Paw from an uncrackable safe, aboard a heavily guarded ship, in the middle of the blasted ocean, during the Storm of the Century!! One would think, after all that, nicking The Hope Diamond from the British Museum would be a Sunday Picnic.

Putting out a comic book isn't exactly a Sunday Picnic either. Honestly, we weren't so sure about soldiering on with this little labor of love, but, we couldn't ignore the near daily emails, imploring: WHERE'S ISSUE TWO???

Who are we to ignore such magnificent missives? So, let's do number two together  Errrrr, perhaps, we should rephrase that.

Have no fear, Patron of the Arts, we don't plan on waiting so long between issues. The 6 arc story is already written and we will Kickstart the next book in 2 to 3 months! Any funds over our goal will go towards Issue #3. And, so on and so on and so forth!

But, sadly, if we don't reach our goal, Wolverton 2 just won't happen without your assistance! We only have so many kidneys to hock for the cause. Help us bring this 28 page story to life!

In the next installment, oh good and faithful reader, you'll be introduced to gadget gadfly, H.G. Wells, learn more about the absolutely ancient order of The Golden Dawn, and lay your peepers on Inspector Munroe of Scotland Yard, Wolverton's romantic foil for the irresistible Isabelle's attention!

Wolverton Teams up With HeroBox to Send Comics to Our Heroes Serving Overseas!

HeroBox is an organization that supports deployed, injured, aging and homeless veterans. Our mission is to ensure that every American hero receives the physical and moral support they deserve.

As our artist, Derek, is a vet, we thought it was a great idea to share our super hero with some super heroes serving us overseas!

We donated a few hundred copies for troops overseas.  We hope to keep doing this moving forward.

Who in Hollywood Should Play Jack Wolverton?

Because Wolverton, Thief of Impossible objects started as an original screenplay, the first thing you'll notice is how cinematic it is -- from the over the top action sequences to the sparkling dialogue.

In our discussions with various producers, casting would always come up.

Now, this was a few years back, way before Legion and Beauty and the Beast.  Downton Abbey just came out and like most yanks, we fell instantly for Dan Stevens.  So, we kept dropping his name at meetings and the producers kept replying, "Who?"

"Just you wait." We'd say.

Once a week, we'll publish another excerpt from The Black Cat's Secret Journal. Found recently while renovations were done on the Tower of London! Learn the origin of Wolverton and why he's on a mission to rid the world of all that nasty magic! Who are the Golden Dawn? Why have they always hounded his family?
