NEW CHARACTERS DESIGNED BY KELSEY SHANNON!

Meet bounty hunter BUCK THORNTON and the no good scum-bag he has to apprehend, TECTOR HARRIGAN from the story, "BUCK THORNTON ALWAYS GETS HIS MAN" written by Graham Nolan. This tale also features the return of the Kryll (the creatures from ALIEN ALAMO) and ties this book into the NOLANVERSE!

VARIANT COVER ADDED!

This amazing variant cover by Dan Lawlis is limited to 1000 copies. This cover will NOT be upgraded to hardcover if we hit the $150K stretch goal. Only the original Golden cover will be upgraded so you want to be sure you have one of those ordered as well.

GIANT-SIZE TWO-FISTED MANLY TALES is a collection of knuckle-busting, lip-splitting, teeth spitting tales of action and adventure that celebrates what has become known as "toxic masculinity"!

These are stories of men as protectors, warriors, adventurers, and soldiers having to rise up and do the right thing, sometimes at great personal sacrifice. This book is the reaction to the demonizing of masculinity in the current soy based world.

NEWLY ADDED!

LIMITED EDITION SHIRTS! Only available during the campaign! Choose between, Ass-Kicking Black or Bloody Knuckles Red!

FLAUNT YOUR MASCULINITY and make your enemies quake in fear by displaying this collectible trophy! No man-cave should be without one!
