Tales of the Abyss – a new comic book anthology is live on Kickstarter

If you check out the Short Comics or One-Shots sections on my portfolio, you may notice that I've collaborated with a French artist Jean-Marc Tauzin a couple of times now. Jean-Marc and I first got into contact thanks to my project of free monthly comic book scripts for any artist to draw. He originally developed two of my horror scripts into short comics and then took on a larger challenge of the 10-page The Unfathomable Planet story. And when all these horror stories (usually with Lovecraftian overtones) started to pile up, we had to ask our selves: while we're at it, why not just make an anthology out of these?

Tales of the Abyss – a Cosmic Horror Comic Book Anthology on Kickstarter

What's Tales of the Abyss?

And that's when Tales of the Abyss comes into the picture. It is a horror comic book anthology in the vein of the classic Creepshow or Tales from the Crypt series. It contains five stories written by me and illustrated by Jean-Marc. And you can now back it on Kickstarter.

As you can see, we didn't set our financial goal too high. We realize that we're both still pretty new to this, not to mention that some of the stories are already available for free here on my portfolio or on Jean-Marc's GlobalComix page. However, we still wanted to take on this challenge and learn a thing or two about setting up a campaign and promoting our work.

What does it contain?

  • Lost Pet (4 pages)
  • Deep Dream (4 pages)
  • The Unfathomable Planet (10 pages)
  • The Pumpkin (4 pages – exclusive for the anthology!)
  • The Church (6 pages – exclusive for the anthology!)
  • two covers for each story
  • my original scripts for each story, Jean-Marc's concept art and other peaks behind the creative process (on higher tier – exclusive for the anthology!)

The whole anthology is available digitally and not only in English, but also in French. And the best of all? It is already finished. So once the campaign runs its course and our humble financial goal is met, you can get your digital copy right away. So please. If you love horror comics and/or you'd like to support our creative work, check out Tales of the Abyss!
