It’s not all fun and games, fighting vampires. Sometimes you just have to put your head in the game, before someone loses theirs completely.
io9 is delighted to reveal a first look at cartoonist Warwick Johnson-Cadwell’s eccentric supernatural new crossover adventure at Dark Horse Comics, Falconspeare. The new graphic novel, written and illustrated by Johnson-Cadwell (with letters from Clem Robins), features 19th century heroes Professor JT Meinhardt, Mr. Knox and Mrs. Mary Van Sloan, characters created by Johnson-Cadwell alongside of Hellboy Mike Mignola icon for comics Mr. Higgins comes home and Our Encounters with Evil: The Adventures of Professor JT Meinhardt and His Assistant Mr. Knox. Now, these heroes team up for another spooky and spooky adventure investigating the paranormal perils of the era, this time investigating the mysterious disappearance of another supernatural investigative agent: the titular vampire slayer, James Falconspeare. Discover the coverage for Falconspeare below, by Mike Mignola and longtime collaborating colourist Dave Stewart!
“Professor Meinhardt, Mr. Knox and Ms. Mary Van Sloan are answering a call from their past. A colleague and friend lost from their training days can reach out to them after years of silence. Is this a cry for help or a warning? Johnson-Cadwell teased Gizmodo about the plot of Falconspeare, in a statement provided by e-mail. “Our heroes are ready to find out, even though they may not be prepared for what they find. They oppose vampires and werewolves again, but is there yet a more terrible encounter to come?
“As a designer, Warwick is totally fearless. Anytime I think I’ve done something a little bit there, a little exciting, I just have to look at the Warwick stuff to remind myself what the exciting really looks like, â€added Mignola in its own statement, provided by e-mail. Speaking of exciting – and the aforementioned head loss – check out a few pages from the Adventures of Ms. Sloan, Mr. Knox, and Falconspeare below, debuting here on Gizmodo:
