NARCO (original graphic novel) + PLASTIC: DELUXE EDITION

48 HOURS left on my newest book
about 1 month ago – Tue, Sep 01, 2026 at 01:49:04 PM

Doug Wagner here... again. If you backed NARCO, you already know I have a weakness for taking a ridiculous premise and playing it completely straight… well, our latest one isn't any different, and the Kickstarter ends on Wednesday night.

I LOVE APOCALYPTIC ZOMBIE MISFITS is a 200-page graphic novel Daniel Hillyard and I packed with monsters, serial killers, prophecies, found family and immortal Murder Chickens.

We’re down to the final 48 hours.

If AZM looks like your particular kind of weird, I’d love to have you along for this one too.

CHECK OUT AZM

All the loves,
Doug

I Made Something Weird... AGAIN!
about 2 months ago – Thu, Aug 13, 2026 at 10:45:53 AM

First off, thank you again for backing NARCO & PLASTIC. You folks took a chance on a strange little crime thriller about a narcoleptic detective, and helped Daniel and me bring that crazy idea to life.

Well…

Apparently, Daniel and I still haven’t learned how to leave well enough alone.

This time, we decided to see what would happen if we took a post-apocalyptic zombie story, a supernatural slasher movie, and a road-trip comedy, threw them all in a blender…

…and added Murder Chickens.

I LOVE APOCALYPTIC ZOMBIE MISFITS is officially LIVE on Kickstarter!

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/cloverpress/i-love-apocalyptic-zombie-misfits-ogn-by-wagner-and-hillyard?ref=bajtb2

AZM is a 200-page apocalyptic horror/comedy about a nerdy pacifist resurrected in holy motor oil and trapped inside an unstoppable supernatural slasher.

There’s a prestige hardcover, a Scripts & Layout companion book, collector cards, a die-cut slipcase edition, a Chris Bachalo variant cover, and…

We made a freaking MURDER CHICKENS card game.

48-HOUR EARLY BIRD

We’re also offering a special Early Bird package for the first 48 hours:

$165 instead of $185

It includes the signed dust-jacket hardcover, Scripts & Layout companion book, Murder Chickens card game, both PDFs and collector cards.

It disappears Saturday at 9 AM PST.

CHECK OUT AZM ON KICKSTARTER:

And whether you back it or not, I’d really appreciate you helping us spread the word. If you know one person who loves horror, weird comics, or inexplicably violent poultry, send them our way.

Every share really does help - especially during these first few days.

Most importantly, thank you again for backing my work. The fact that you’ve supported one of my crazy ideas before means more to me than you probably realize.

I hope you’ll come see what Daniel and I have cooked up this time.

A Personal Thank You (and an Invitation)
3 months ago – Mon, Jul 20, 2026 at 10:24:21 AM

Hi! Doug Wagner here.

First, I just want to say thank you for being part of NARCO. Whether you backed the campaign on day one or joined us later, your support helped Daniel and me bring another weird little story into the world, and we’re incredibly grateful.

I’ve been waiting a long time to share this.

Over the past couple of years, Daniel Hillyard and I have been quietly working on what might be the biggest, strangest, and most ambitious project we’ve ever created together.

It’s called I LOVE APOCALYPTIC ZOMBIE MISFITS… or AZM for short.

Imagine a world filled with murder chickens, serial killers, skinwalkers, archangels, monstrosities, and every other nightmare you can think of. Now imagine they’re the heroes.

It’s loud. It’s funny. It’s heartfelt. It’s completely ridiculous in all the best ways, and somehow it’s become one of the stories I’m most proud of.

Rather than ask you to back it sight unseen, I wanted to let you decide for yourself.

I’ve put the first 12 pages online for free, so you can see exactly what Daniel and I have been building.

If you enjoy what you read, I’d be incredibly grateful if you’d click “Notify me on launch” on the Kickstarter pre-launch page. It costs nothing, but it helps build momentum before the campaign goes live.

You can read the preview and visit the Kickstarter page here:

Whether AZM ends up being your kind of weird or not, thank you again for supporting my work over the years. Every Kickstarter you’ve backed has given me the opportunity to keep creating stories I genuinely love, and I never take that support for granted.

I hope you enjoy meeting the wonderfully broken misfits of AZM.

All the loves,
Doug

The Latest Kickstarter from 12-Gauge is Ending Soon - "Jason Pearson's BODY BAGS: Artist's Edition"
almost 2 years ago – Mon, Nov 18, 2024 at 06:42:11 AM

Hi everyone! Keven Gardner here. I'm sending this update in case you haven't heard about our new Kickstarter campaign honoring the late Jason Pearson. This is a fully funded campaign entering its final few days (ending Thursday afternoon) for a 12" x 17" Artist's Edition hardcover of Jason's creator owned series, BODY BAGS. Jason was an incredibly talented creator that many of you know from his Marvel and DC work over his long career, but BODY BAGS was his masterpiece. This project is being done in a partnership with Scott Dunbier of Act 4 Publishing (formerly of IDW), the Eisner Award winning creator of the Artist's Edition format that so many of you know and love. We also have two other books as a part of the campaign: the LOCKED & LOADED sketchbook, and a book called the Artist's Edition+, which contains even more of Jason's behind the scenes work from BODY BAGS. 

Here's a link to the campaign: http://kck.st/3UGRYyr

And you can check out the project video below: 

And the covers for the 3 books we are offering in the campaign...

Please check it out, and if you feel inclined, please help us spread the news. 

Thank you!
