We here at Ominous Press feel that contacting our backers is a privilege, one we never want to take for granted. But once in a while we reach out to let you know about a great Kickstarter campaign that might be of interest.
Thrilling Adventure Yarns 2021 is a pulp-style prose anthology edited by Robert Greenberger, who wrote the Dreadstar Guidebook that Ominous will soon be publishing. The book features an array of pulp-style short stories spanning genres including fantasy, science fiction, sword and sorcery, detective, Western and more, from an all-star lineup of writers.
With only a few days remaining, the initial funding goal has been met, and now the campaign is hitting stretch goals. A recent stretch goal unlocked a short story by our own editor-in-chief at Ominous, Ron Marz. An upcoming stretch goal unlocks artwork by friends of Ominous including Peter Krause, Jerry Ordway, Tom Mandrake, and Karl Kesel.
We’d love for you to have a look at the campaign here:

We hope this finds you well in these uncertain times. We here at Ominous Press and Creation.Ink are continuing to create, and we wanted to let you know about our latest project.
Live on Kickstarter right now is the all-new graphic novel BEASTS OF THE BLACK HAND Volume 2: The Viking League. Created by sculptor and artist Paul Harding, the dieselpunk horror-adventure is a sequel to the initial BEASTS OF THE BLACK HAND graphic novel from Ominous Press and Creation.Ink.
Written by Ron Marz, drawn by Matthew Dow Smith, and colored by Nanjan Jamberi, the sequel will be a lavish, 64-page oversize hardcover, just like Volume 1. Once funded, Volume 2 will be released in December.

Set at the close of the First World War in a world where dieselpunk technology is transforming the world, Volume 1 introduced British secret agent Oswald Rayner as he assassinated the Mad Monk, Rasputin. Rayner is charged with battling the nefarious Black Hand, a secret cabal of sorcerers bent on unleashing monsters upon Europe. Rayner is aided by a team that includes his driver and mechanic, Biffy Dunderdale; French “Hello Girl” Oleda Marchand; and American war hero Henry Johnson.
Having thwarted Maria Rasputin’s machinations to destroy the Versailles peace conference, Volume 2 finds Rayner and his team battling the Black Hand in Eastern Europe, as well as Germany, where the fascist Viking League is rising to power. Meanwhile, a mysterious figure known as the Teutonic Knight has appeared in Berlin, his loyalties uncertain.
Both Volumes 1 and 2 will be available are available via the Kickstarter, with standard covers by Matthew Dow Smith, and limited sculpture variant covers by Paul Harding. Other rewards include collectible, limited-edition, single-issue comics with exclusive variant covers by artists including Matthew Dow Smith, Eric Powell, Mike McKone, Mark Nelson, Meghan Hetrick, and others. Additional variant covers will be announced throughout the campaign by an all-star collection of artists, including Rachael Stott, Tom Mandrake, and more. There are also sculpture rewards crafted by Paul Harding and Creation.Ink, limited-edition prints, and T-shirts.
With your help, we can unleash the BEASTS again!
