Sarah Winchester Comic Book Project.
I don't often do this kind of post, I think hyping a project which is a long ways off from being done is often kind of a waste of energy. People tend to get worked up about something too early and forget about a project once it starts. There are a couple of reasons I am posting these early images of our upcoming comic series about Sarah Winchester now for a couple of reasons.
1) This is the first extended comic book writing since I wrote Scarlet Thunder and I am kind of pumped about the art. Drew Rausch, whom I met after we started the Haunted Mansion series, is someone I just clicked with. Once it became apparent that SLG was not going to be able to produce new Haunted Mansion material I turned my attention to the other big, mysterious house in my life, The Winchester Mystery House. I tried to get a job there when I was a kid (I didn't get it because I was a smart-ass) and I have always had an idea in my head for the place. I loved the Haunted Mansion stories Drew and I did together and he was a perfect choice for this book. He gets the vibe.
2) In an interview I made a comment about initiating more projects where we came up with the concepts internally. Lots of people asked me for examples of what kind of projects I was talking about. This is an example of one. I will post some art from another one soon.
3) I'm just generally excited about this project, and not just because I am writing it. This thing is going to have Harry Houdini, Teddy Roosevelt, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and possibly one of the most mysterious women in American history.
So, clicking on an image below take you to a larger image posted on my Facebook page. All art is by Drew Rausch. If we are lucky, the first issue will be out in time for Comic-Con (maybe, not promising).
