The Squidder Comes to IDW

June 1st - via: horrortalk.com
If you missed the Kickstarter campaign for Ben Templesmith's The Squidder, shame on you. Fortunately, you'll have another chance to check out the graphic novel as it will be broken up into single issues by IDW Publishing beginning in July. This is through a distribution partnership between the publisher and 44FLOOD. Templesmith wrote, illustrated, and lettered The Squidder and will provide primary covers for the single issues. The book centers on an old soldier, one of the last of the legendary Squidder Legions from a forgotten war. The official description goes on “The post-apocalyptic world seems to have left him behind, but it remains to be seen if a discarded relic with a death wish and a rebellious Squid priestess can overthrow humanity’s tentacled alien overlords.” (Read More)
