“How to Bring Knives to a Gunfight.”

HAMILTON, MT -- Unlikely Heroes Studios is saddling up for a new
Kickstarter to bring you the third chapter of The Surgeon, their lauded
postapocalyptic spaghetti Western comics series, powered by bold new
pencils from indie comics powerhouse Stan Yak.

The Surgeon is the continuing story of a frontier doctor on the South
Dakota Badlands. Despite her calling as a healer, she has to kill to
survive -- and it’s possible that she’s better at it than she is at
doctoring, and maybe she likes it better, too. Chapter 3 picks up in the
middle of the blood, mud, and fire where Chapter 2 left off. It brings
fans 22 pages of gritty, intense, sword-swinging action; compelling
characters; and grim, world-weary humor.


The story is by UHS veteran John Pence, author of Up from the Skies and
editor of the Elsewhere anthology. Chapter 3 features art by the mighty
Stan Yak, whose work does a lot of heavy lifting on Source Point Press’
Salvagers and Broken Gargoyles, along with stalwart Surgeon colorist Eve
Orozco who did the smoke, fire, shadows, and explosions for UHS’
breakout hit, Super!


“Last year, when we lost Zack, I wasn’t sure how we could move forward
with The Surgeon; his pencils were so perfect for the book,” Pence says,
referring to beloved UHS partner and artist Zack Dolan, whose untimely
death was a huge loss to the independent comics scene. “But I’m sure
he’d want the work to keep going, and I bet he’s looking down, cheering
about Stan’s pages in his big, booming laugh. Stan’s stuff is perfect
for the job.”


“We have been so eager to return to the world of The Surgeon,” UHS
publisher and editor Laurie Foster says, “Our fans loved the book, and
people ask about it all the time. And, I gotta tell you because I’ve
read the scripts for the rest of the series arc, we’re just getting
started with this story. ”


The Surgeon Chapter 3: “How to Bring Knives to a Gunfight”
Kickstarterlaunched on July 6th.

​Cullen Bunn, JimmyZ Johnston, and Federico de Luca are launching a Kickstarter campaign on 7/8/2020 to fund the release of the first two issues of their upcoming comic book series DEMOCRITUS BRAND AND THE ENDLESS MACHINE. Bunn and Johnston are co-writing the series. De Luca is handing art chores. Simon Bowland is lettering the series. Baldemar Rivas is providing a variant cover for the first issue.

“Democritus Brand is a new adventurer in a steampunk version of the Victorian era,” said Bunn. “Exploring the world via his state-of-the-art airship, accompanied by a host of skilled companions, Brand is an archaeologist who is seeking the truth about the steam-driven wonders that have changed the world forever. This truth, of course, is not necessarily all that pleasant.”

The series is described as a tale of cosmic horror in the steampunk era.

In 1861... an excavation in Egypt uncovers a most unusual mummy. The body is a fusion of preserved flesh and strange steam technology, like a steam-era cyborg... but the mummy is THOUSANDS of years old. This represents a vast, alien technology that came to Earth centuries ago. Could this be how the pyramids and the Sphinx were constructed? This discovery launches a neo-industrial revolution--a burgeoning age of steam and clockworks. From advanced locomotion and flying machines... to streamlined communication... to pneumatic servants and soldiers, the steam-driven technology was meant to make the lives of the Crown's citizens easier.

But it spun out of control.

It is now 1891.

The Kickstarter campaign will fund the first two issues of the book. The initial series is planned for six issues, with more tales of Professor Brand’s adventures to come.

“We wanted to do something a little unusual with this launch,” said Bunn. “We have two full issues of art completed, so we thought it would be fun to offer the first two issues of the book at once.”

All art assets for issues 1 and 2 have been finalized. Only lettering and final design needs to be completed before the book can go to the printer. The creators anticipate a rapid turn around between funding and release.

Bunn and Johnston have written books such as THE MICRONAUTS and WRATH OF KARZA together. De Luca is the artist of projects such as MINDBENDER and CONAN, THE BARBARIAN KING.
