Werewolves, Westerns, And Horror – ‘Homestead’ Is Live Now On Kickstarter
by Brendan M. Allen
Native American/Western werewolf graphic novel Homestead from writer Dirk Manning, artist Lee Garner, colorist Colin Johnson, and letterer Dave Lentz is now available on Kickstarter as a limited edition exclusive hardcover graphic novel. Lakota tribe member Rau Blackhawk is also attached to the project as a creative consultant.
In 1868 in North Dakota, retired soldier Bill Simmons starts a new life with his new family on land issued to him as part of the Homestead Act.
Unbeknownst to him, the land he has been granted by the United States government overlaps with territories occupied by the Lakota Nation. Among the Lakota is a proud warrior and a zealous medicine man willing to go to supernatural extremes in order to protect their people, their loved ones, and their way of life.
What results is an equally horrific and heartbreaking battle as these two parties wage an intense and isolated war with each other as they both try to protect what they feel is theirs by any means necessary… including embracing the “Spirit of the Wolf.”
Digital copies of the book kick in at the $15 pledge tier. Trade paperbacks clock in at $25. Hardcovers are $35. Mini busts, shirts, original art, statues, and various other goodies are available at higher tiers. Check out the campaign at this link.
