Thank you for checking out the Halloween Man: "Valentine's Day that Time Forgot" Indiegogo.
Halloween Man is the weird adventures of an undead superhero and his sexy mad scientist girlfriend. Throughout its nineteen year history, Halloween Man Comics has strived to bring you the best artistic talent indie comics can offer.
This special two-part Halloween Man tale is a story of love, Elvis, and dinosaurs! Fusing elements from classic science-fiction like Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's The Lost World, and Edgar Rice Burroughs' Caspak trilogy with modern cryptozoology, and other esoteric sciences, we've created an all-new pulp mythology, ripe for exploration!
When Solomon and Lucy's date night is interrupted by a caveman fleeing ravenous vampires, indie comics' favorite couple are bestowed on a quest involving both Lucy's family tree and planet Earth's prehistory as they enter a legendary plateau filled with giant monsters!
If quirky comics are your cup of T-Rex, here is your chance to show your support for this offbeat Texas original. Your donations will help finance our creative team’s production costs, as well as the printing and promotions. Help us roar like a Mesozoic monster and prove that indie comics can take on the big two.
Don't Let Indie Comics Go Extinct:

A word from writer/creator, Drew Edwards. . .
“While Halloween Man has been around a long time, it's always been a tough road for what is essentially a labor of love for myself and everyone else who’s been involved over the years. As a small press comic, it's easy to get lost in the sea of mainstream media. Your funds will not only help us have the biggest impact possible, but will also help our creative team get a leg up in a tough industry. I've always thought of Halloween Man Comics as a place for talent to build their resume and take the risks that help them grow and mature as artists. This is your chance to help the talent local to Texas to hit the international stage in as big a way as possible.

No comic is made without an awesome creative team, and here’s ours!
Drew Edwards, Writer/Creator
Award-winning comic book writer, horror film historian, music journalist, rock promoter, and showman extraordinaire; these are all guises of the creative force known as Drew Edwards. Best known as the writer and creator of the long-running underground comic book series, Halloween Man, thousands tune in each week to hear him as a cast member of the horror movie podcast, Castle of Horror. Known as “Howlin’” Drew Edwards to many musicians, he’s helped bridge the horror and comic culture with Austin’s legendary music scene with Halloween Man Productions annual “Punk vs. Rockabilly” showcase during SXSW, now in its tenth year, and as a contributing writer for Rockabilly Online. Drew currently lives in Austin, Texas with his wife, musician/activist, Jamie Bahr and their fierce lionhead rabbit, Janis Hoplin.
JTA, Cover Artist
JTA's diverse work has been featured in a variety of media, including the children's book, One Day Luisito, the teen movie comedy, Ned Venture, the board game, Super PACS! The Game of Politics About the Game of Politics, and the music video/printed comic book, You Ain’t. Most recently, JTA succeeded in a Kickstarter campaign for his first fully colored art book, Aw, Hell! A Demon Art Book. JTA loves monsters, pinups and most foods (the variety of food options being one of the many reasons he loves Austin). JTA is a nerdy artist type, but likes to believe he also has some class. To that extent, he owns a pair of socks with a gentleman cat print and wears them. . . a lot."
