Cullen Bunn takes you down... a Passage in Black! (Kickstart the Week)

If there's one thing modern comics misses more than anything, it's successful anthology books. The format built modern comics as we know them, but they rarely appear on the market anymore. When they do, they're lucky to last a year.

Cullen Bunn has written dozens of great comics over the years, both mainstream at Marvel and DC (Deadpool, Sinestro, etc.) and creator owned and often creepy (The Sixth Gun, Helheim.) He also loves classic horror comic anthologies from Tales of the Crypt to DC's House of Mystery and beyond. Those books often defined the supernatural in comics and modern comics owe a lot to them. Bunn wished to revive the format, through Kickstarter of course.

A Passage in Black will be a 120 page graphic novel that adapts short horror tales Bunn wrote for a prose anthology of the same name. Adapted by a variety of comic creators, the first book is chock full of up and coming names in comics. Of a more interesting note to folks like me that want to see anthologies continue and excel, Bunn wants to make the series an annual tradition going forward!


If you like your comics quick and creepy (and this time of year, who doesn't) give the book a look at its Kickstarter page. And remember to help  more great stories and comics find new readers by sharing and supporting!
