Struckhoff is a friend of the blog who has been working on releasing and self-publishing his creator owned comics, and with release date approaching soon, I was granted a sneak peek into one of the comics. Black Label Comics #1 is an anthology that features several short stories as well as previews of upcoming work from Ian and his talented cadre of artists. What’s even more astonishing is that Ian is completely funding his work through Kickstarter and networking to put this comic together. Hit the jump to find out what, where, and why you should get this comic, as well as an in-depth look at some of the content that will appear in this comic.
Something For Everyone!
Like I mentioned in the introductory paragraph, there’s a veritable army of artists collaborating and working along with Ian, all of them that he met through networking on DeviantArt. This is perhaps not the easiest way to find artist, but Ian is a hard working man and managed to bring them all under the same roof. There’s an incredibly array of styles to go along with all the different stories, and I’m sure you will find one to love. Here’s a special peek at some pages from several of the stories.
A page from The Deathlings: Black Label. A nameless cowboy Deathling breaks into a series of apartments in the foggy city, looking for something.What is he looking for and who is he working for?
Line Art by Nicholas Raimo, Color Art by Sara Machajewski.
A page from The Dark Age: Untitled Masterpieces. Detective Sandra Cash is working a case involving a serial killer that seems to target victims without much rhyme or reason. She isn’t having much luck until her partner stumbles upon a huge clue.
