Craig E. Sawyer, the writer behind Mars Vice City, has launched the Kickstarter for gothic-horror adventure comic The Forbidden Museum. The comic begins with the idea that Dracula was not killed by Johnathan Harker, Quincy Morris and Abraham Van Helsing - but instead entombed as part of Harker’s Forbidden Museum in London. A place where decades later, Harker’s grandson frees Dracula from. But Dracula is not alone… for the museum is also home to The Mummy, The Gill-God and Frankenstein’s Monster!
Craig has been successful with several Kickstarter comics before, including the aforementioned Mars Vice City. This time around, he’s working with Luke Archey, who graduated from The Kubert School and whose art style has traces of Kevin O’Neill. James G. brown, whom worked with Craig on Mars Vice City provides the colours for this first issue. The cover is by none other than the great Tom Mandrake. All this and extras and rewards drawn by Puis Calzada, Terry Wolfinger and Rob Archey. If you’ve not checked out Craig’s work before, do so here. The Forbidden Museum is a rip-roaring Victorian action horror comic, in the tradition of League of Extraordinary Gentlemen!
