GRAWLGORE & SHANKS: Fantasy Detective Comic

EDITOR'S NOTE: I receive many invites to make a pledge to various Kickstarter and crowd-funded indie comics campaigns - so I have to be selective when I do. You may be facing the same situations, so I'm sharing with you ones that I think are worthy of your consideration. Yes, I pledged to this campaign. Why?  1) The creative team is one that I follow and has never disappointed me.  2) ComixTribe has proven to be very reliable when it comes to their Kickstarter-funded projects. 3) They also have a reputation for putting out works of good story-telling, good art and quality.  From the official ComixTribe invitation to me . . . . . .  ComixTribe fans, we're thrilled to be back on Kickstarter with a brand new series from some creators who have been making awesome comics with us for over a decade!    The fantasy mystery thrill ride of the summer launched THIS MORNING and in this message, we have ALL the details about it for you today!

Only Murders in Middle-Earth? A New Fantasy Detective Comic on Kickstarter
