Crowdfunding Comics: ‘Thunderhead’ By Wes Craig And Kevin Castaniero
by Tito W. James
Fan-favorite creator Wes Craig (Kaya, Deadly Class), Kevin Castaniero, and Lethal Comics are bringing us a new psychedelic superhero comic called Thunderhead. Craig is creating the proposed five-issue series as an antidote to grim and gritty superheroes that were popularized in the ’80s. With the world as volatile as it is, many creatives are turning to the bright colors of 60s Silver-Age comics. Personally, I believe the ’60s counter culture was way ahead of its time and that creative ethos is due for a major comeback.
“What if the CIA’s MK Ultra experiments with LSD gave test subjects incredible super powers?
Instead of going down the grim and gritty alleyway of the 1980’s, what if superheroes went down the rabbit hole of mind expansion and free love? Imagine if Stan Lee had dosed the water cooler in the Bullpen, and hired R. Crumb to work alongside Jack Kirby?”
You can back Thunderhead right now on Kickstarter.
