New Series Announced: Past Time
Baseball horror comics!
It was my sincere intent to get back to writing this newsletter more frequently, but I’ve been down in the bunker, working on myriad new projects at once, and I am very excited to announce the first of these projects (and my first with Mad Cave Studios): A new comics series crossing baseball and horror (illustrated by Russell Olsen), PAST TIME!
I’ve wanted to make sports comics in general—and baseball comics in particular—for a long time now. This is the first (but not the last!) sports-related project of mine coming down the pike.
Henry Hayes could have been the best baseball player anybody ever saw, if only his dark affliction didn’t prevent him from playing in the daylight. But when the barnstorming circuit introduces a new novelty to the game—night baseball under the bright lights—will his dreams of playing pro ball finally be realized, or will his bloody past catch up with him before he gets the chance? From the midwest fields of the 1920s to the big city lights of today, Past Time is a small town thriller on a National scale.
The series launches on April 2nd and is current available for preorder at Mad Cave’s website. I’ll post the Previews solicitation when it’s live on January 24th.
And just look at these covers from (the great) Marc Chiarello and (the also great) Adam Pollina!
