The artist known as Skinner promises to pay loving tribute to the horror comics of yesteryear with his brand new horror comics anthology magazine Skin Crawl Magazine, a project he’s launching with a debut issue that’s currently being funded through Kickstarter.
The good news? With 27 days left, Skin Crawl Magazine has already far surpassed its original $15,000 goal, thus far scaring up a whopping $44,819 and guaranteeing it’s coming to life!
The press release explains…
“The artist Skinner spent the pandemic realizing he might not get another chance to have so much focus and isolation, so he pursued a lifelong dream of doing sequential horror art in the classic sense! Horror comics and underground weird fantasy were the perfect place to plant a hideous seed to build from, and the result is the intensely illustrated and vibrant SKIN CRAWL MAGAZINE! Written, inked, and mostly colored by Skinner, this thing features 64 pages and 5 tales of horror and weirdness hosted by a gross claw that was only recently discovered. Skinner has done award-winning videos, films, books, commercials, and animated shorts, so this book is sure to hit the spot for connoisseurs of fine terror and foul fables!”
Skin Crawl Magazine is production-ready, Skinner notes, already finished and being unleashed as soon as the Kickstarter campaign is complete. The plan is for Issue #1 to spawn an ongoing horror comics anthology, which will continue the debut issue’s tradition of paying tribute to “Creepshow, Eerie, and Tales from the Crypt, in the classic magazine full-color style format.”
Skinner notes, “This really is a chance for me to share my stories and my ideas with you, without having to jump through any corporate hoops or appease any institutions.”
You can grab a PDF copy for just $10, with physical copies – available in black & white or full-color – beginning at $20. Head over to Kickstarter to learn more and pitch in today!
