Ninecrow: A Graphic Novel of Homegrown Horror

It's the kind of town that just calls to some people. If you hear it...you'll never want to leave. A psychological horror like The Omen or Carrie meets the art of Edward Gorey and Charles Addams


Tell me child...Have you seen the bones beneath the flesh?

Welcome to Black Valley. It's a small town that welcomes newcomers, like 15-year-old Amanda Adams and her mom...but only if they don't ask too many questions. Don't ask why strange lights appear in the woods above town some nights.  Don't wonder why so many residents of the town seem to be missing fingers and eyes and limbs. Don't look too deeply into why teenagers go missing. Can Amanda free herself, her mother, and her friends from the strange influence of Black Valley...before she's seen the bones beneath the flesh?

Ninecrow is a graphic novel illustrated by hand in pen and ink and inkwash. This book will contain the completed graphic novel, first published online as a webcomic. 

In the author's own words:  "Ninecrow is a project I'm deeply passionate about. I think of it as "The Stepford Wives" (the 1970s movie version) meets Delphine, by Richard Sala. As a female creator who loves both horror and comics, I feel like we still need more stories that center female characters in ways that are empowering and meaningful. Part of why I set out to write Ninecrow was because I wanted to tell the story of a girl fighting to preserve her identity and her individuality through the lens of a horror story."

Plus the hand drawn art is absolutely fantastic. GO BACK IT HERE:

INCREDIBLE NORSE MYTHS & LEGENDS VOL.4

A WAR OF THE ÆSIR AGAINST THE VANIR

Scandinavian myths mainly tell about gods called the Æsir, whose domain is lordship and war. But there was also a second divine line, more mysterious and somewhat on the margin of the stories preserved in the two Eddas. Those are the Vanir, who are in charge of abundance and fertility, and are associated with the powerful magic called seiðr. Between them and the Æsir arises an inevitable conflict, which cannot be resolved by force. However, an end to the feud is necessary for the emergence of an ideal society, composed of both rulers/warriors and farmers. BACK IT HERE.


 AMAZING COMIC! THEY JUST DID A COOL CROSSOVER PRINT WITH 'WHITE ASH'!

With the help of Snow Paw, the Pureblood Monoki, and the supernatural evil slayer, Night Hunter, Rod must learn to master his newly found lycanthropy and mysterious kinetic energy power that only he possesses. Rod must fight the Dark Covenant in order to avenge his friends and family, and to save the girl he loves from the master vampire, Lord Malice.

A NEW GOAL UNLOCKED! WonderCon and on to the next...
about 2 years ago – Mon, Apr 04, 2022 at 01:16:02 PM

The more you keep sharing our project, the more backers we get and that means more and better rewards for all! 

Stretch goal #2 has been unlocked! We hit 150 backers! 

Now, anyone who has backed a physical tier will have a chance to get one of these limited edition gold foil versions of the Tick-Tock Cavalcade Ticket (they also make a pretty shiny bookmark too...). Only 50 will be made. Who's going to snag the golden ticket??? Guess we'll have to wait and see. 

50 Gold Foil Tickets will be randomly inserted into physical tiers

We're at our first WonderCon!  It's awesome! Everyone is so talented and welcoming. We love this community. We even saw a real-life Wall-E. It talked to us. 

Stretch Goal #3 -$8250

This one is just around the corner. And it's pretty awesome. Once we reach our next goal of $8250, all tiers that contain trading cards will get a third added to the pile. We're talking about this beauty right here: 

Pig Head Fred

 Illustrated by the amazing Giuseppe Sabè di Stefano (the artist of Shockheaded Peter), this third card will help to begin the 'Shockheaded Shenanigans' line of collectible trading cards.  If you thought the Garbage Pail Kids were grungy, wait until you get these in hand.  And we've got an entire set planned for the next two parts which will complete the full arc of Shockheaded Peter the graphic novel.


Now, here's some great people and campaigns we met this weekend on our WonderCon trip and we think their projects should get all the attention in the world. Give 'em a glance, would you?

about 2 years ago – Thu, Mar 31, 2022 at 05:10:32 PM

What an amazing experience this has been. And we have all of you to thank for it!  

You, our backers and new fans, have really turned out to support this creative vision we've had in our heads for some time. And now SHOCKHEADED PETER has become a reality that you will be able to hold in your hands, read with wide eyes and display on your bookshelf for years to come. It's hard to express how much delight we are filled with knowing that you are walking alongside us to start this journey.

We've got another stretch goal coming around the corner and another THREE we are about to announce. HURRAY! With every new backer pledge, all funds will be going towards new rewards, upping the print quality on the books and funding the creation and publication of parts 2 & 3 to complete SHOCKHEADED PETER: BOOK ONE. It's a good time to be a storyteller. Not gonna lie. 

On a quick side note, we'll be attending WONDERCON in Anaheim, CA this weekend and making the rounds and meeting up with other creators. If you're there, message us on Kickstarter and we'll find a way to meet up! We're serious. Try it.  🙂

But, most importantly, we wanted to take a moment to acknowledge you all. Thank you, thank you, thank you. We can't wait to share more with you.

Sincerely, 

E.B. & Jessica



A SPOTLIGHT ON OTHER CAMPAIGNS YOU SHOULD BACK!

MISKATONIC HIGH Issue 14 - In the grip of the Aswang

When the Community Services Club went on a field trip they were launched back to ancient Egypt and were nearly killed by an evil wizard and his tentacle monster. They escaped back to our century, but things have never been the same.

KNIGHTWRATH #1 - A 90's Influenced Antihero Adventure

An unconfident man becomes the dark Venom/Spawn-like antihero NYC needs.

Knightwrath is an ongoing book with a new dark anti-hero along the lines of Venom, Pitt, and The Darkness. CHECK IT OUT HERE!

FIRST STRETCH GOAL UNLOCKED! WOO-FRICKIN’-HOO!!!!
about 2 years ago – Tue, Mar 29, 2022 at 01:15:20 PM

BECAUSE OF YOU MORE REWARDS ARE COMING...

Thanks to our supporters, we have surpassed our $6500 stretch goal. Now, all backers who have pledged a tier with a copy of Shockheaded Peter #1 (either digital or physical) will also receive pdf’s of the stunning graphic novel THE MARGINS (130 pages) as well as the fiery and exciting double issue comic MONSTER MATADOR-Tango of the Matadors. We know these 170 pages of additional story content will be put to good use.

Stretch Goal #1 ($6500) - UNLOCKED

THE MARGINS

Co-written by David Accampo (Lost Angels, DC’s New Talent Showcase 2017) and Paul Montgomery (Wormwood: A Serialized Mystery, Panels.net) and illustrated by artist Amanda Donahue, The Margins examines the dual nature of an artist's creative process in providing a healthy outlet for self-expression, as well as an unhealthy mechanism for avoidance and isolation.  At its core, The Margins serves as an allegory for the growing trend of gatekeeping and its devastating ramifications.

Printed copies of the graphic novel may be purchased from award-winning publisher Fanbase Press HERE.  Readers can also find The Margins on Facebook and Twitter (@TheMarginsComics), as well as Fanbase Press (@Fanbase_Press).

MONSTER MATADOR – TANGO OF THE MATADORS

Written by Steven Prince with Art by Ringo Award nominee Fabio Alves and Color by Alex Zief. Born from our love of Mad-Max, Kaiju and Santo and... telenovelas?! The Monster Matador is an action-packed mash-up of all those things, with more than a few laughs to spare. Just don't laugh at the Matador.

Set in a near future where monsters appeared suddenly and without warning, bringing death and destruction, Ramon Alejandro Estévez-Guerrero roams the earth fighting these monsters in memory of his late wife and to make a better world for his daughter – he is the MONSTER MATADOR!


AND LET’S NOT FORGET STRETCH GOAL #2…

Stretch Goal #2 (150 backers) Golden Tick-Tock Cavalcade Ticket

Once we reach 150 backers we will make only 50 copies of our collectible Tick Tock Cavalcade Ticket with gold foil printing that will be randomly inserted into packages. This will be in addition to your serial numbered, original Tick Tock Cavalcade Ticket. Good Luck!
