Howard Chaykin Launches His First Crowdfunded Comic: ‘John Benteen’s Fargo: Hell On Wheels’

Legendary comic book creator, and a personal favourite of mine, Howard Chaykin has launches his first ever crowdfunding campaign for John Benteen’s Fargo: Hell on Wheels with Zoop. A 96 page hardcover graphic novel, it’s based on the popular Fargo novels by John Benteen and summed up as the following:

Imagine if Conan was an American in the early 20th century. He still wouldn’t be as hard as Neal Fargo.

He is joined on this new venture by colourist Yen Nitro and his longtime letterer/designer, Ken Bruzena. 

As well as contributions by the likes of Gary Frank, Butch Guice, Eduardo Risso, Denys Cowan, Mahmud Asrar, and more, with a cover by Dave Johnson, there is the chance to be drawn into the comic, as well as being killed off (in the comic, naturally) with plenty more perks to choose from too.

Live now, if you’re a fan of pulp fiction and/or Chaykin, then this one is for you. And me.
