Hey all! Welcome, comic enthusiasts and horror aficionados! Today, we're plunging into the chilling world of "Karcis #1", the premiere offering from the innovative BlaX Trauma Productions. This new entry in the horror genre blends paranormal investigation with a gripping narrative set in the frozen landscapes of Alaska.

The Chilling Premise

"Karcis #1" introduces us to Paul Karcis, a paranormal investigator drawn into a harrowing mystery in Thompson Pass, Alaska. When a mutilated body is discovered in this secluded town, Karcis finds himself entangled in a web of supernatural forces and unspeakable horrors. The setting of a snowy Alaskan town adds an extra layer of isolation and menace to the story, promising to deliver a horror experience that is both unique and unsettling.   

The Artistic Dream Team

The creative team behind "Karcis #1" is a blend of diverse talents, each bringing their unique skills to the table. Nathan Kelly, a US Army veteran turned comic artist, and Don Mathias, a Boston-based cartoonist with a portfolio including work for DARK HORSE and BONGO COMICS, are just a couple of the names associated with this project. Their combined expertise is set to bring the world of "Karcis" to life in a way that is visually stunning and emotionally resonant.

Brian Hawkins, a name synonymous with compelling storytelling and profound narratives, is the mastermind behind "Karcis #1". Known for his works like "Black Cotton" and "The Vineyard", Hawkins brings his unique vision to life through BlaX Trauma Productions. This Kickstarter campaign isn't just a launchpad for "Karcis #1"; it's a declaration of independence in the comic book world. By choosing Kickstarter as the primary distribution channel, Hawkins and his team are directly connecting with readers and comic book enthusiasts, ensuring that their stories are told exactly as they envision.

My Podcast Encounter: Brian Hawkins on Geek Freaks

I had the distinct pleasure of interviewing Brian Hawkins on my podcast, Geek Freaks. This conversation offered an insightful glimpse into the creative process and the passion driving this project.

"Karcis #1" is more than just a comic book; it's a bold step forward in the world of horror storytelling. With a gripping narrative, a talented creative team, and the backing of a passionate community, it promises to be a standout addition to any horror enthusiast's collection. Keep an eye on this Kickstarter campaign, as "Karcis #1" is set to redefine what we expect from horror comics.
