Witch Doctor at the Olympia Comics Festival

June 6th, 2008

Saturday, June 7 (tomorrow!) is the 2008 Olympia Comics Festival in Olympia, Washing — and Witch Doctor will be there!

I’m actually here already. Olympia’s one of the place that’s near and dear to my heart (because it’s very, very strange), and Lukas will be joining me tomorrow. We’ve only got 20 copies of the first printing of First Incision left, so come get one early! The Cartoonists’ Expo (the standard “comics convention room-full-of-tables”) will be held at The Vault from noon to 5 pm, and admission is free!

We’ll be sharing a table with Tony Morgan of Gunbaby Graphics, creator of the awesome, dark graphic novel Chicken Leg Bone Boy. Tony was one of my favorite artists in my hometown (Fairbanks, Alaska), and I had no idea he lived in Portland until I ran into him at the Stumptown Comics Fest in April. It’s a small coast! If you like Witch Doctor, you should definitely check out Chicken Leg Bone Boy too.

  • About Witch Doctor

    It's a sick world.

    Literally -- the universe is an organism, and the creatures of myth and folklore are invading parasites, preying on the native species and disrupting the ordered systems of the world.

    It's a sick world, and Dr. Vincent Morrow's here to treat it. Headhunted into an exciting new career in the black arts after his excommunication from the medical community, Morrow serves the world with both hands -- one in magic, one in medicine -- as earth's protector. Earth's Witch Doctor.

    Witch Doctor is a medical horror comic written by Brandon Seifert and illustrated by Lukas Ketner, published by Skybound Entertainment and Image Comics.

      "Mental.” — Warren Ellis (Transmetropolitan, The Authority, Black Summer)

      "It's a book so smart I can barely describe it.” — Robert Kirkman (The Walking Dead, Invincible, Marvel Zombies)

      “Brandon Seifert is a creator to watch.  The man has the stuff!!” — Brian Michael Bendis (The Avengers, Ultimate Spider-Man)

      “Basically, I'm jealous. Bastards!” — Ben Templesmith (30 Days of Night, Wormwood: Gentleman Corpse)

      "One guy I'm real excited about is Lukas Ketner... [Witch Doctor is] a great book, and they [Seifert and Ketner] have a lot of talent.” - Scott Allie, Dark Horse Senior Mangaging Editor

      "Witch Doctor is awesome. It's House, M.D. by way of H.P. Lovecraft. Witty, gross, gorgeously drawn and just plain fun." - Brett Warnock, publisher, Top Shelf

      "Any true horror fan should keep their eyes on Seifert and Ketner." - Mike Dringenberg (co-creator of The Sandman)

      "There should be more horror comics like Witch Doctor. It's got the gross outs, and the cool characters, but it has ideas, too. It's a horror comic where they got a good artist and then thought, 'Oh man, what if we got a good writer too?' And that puts them a big leg up." - Joey Comeau, A Softer World

      "Lukas Ketner [is] a fast rising star in the world of illustration." - Publishers Weekly's The Beat

      "I was instantly reminded of a childhood spent reading classic horror comics like Creepy and Eerie... [Seifert and Ketner's] real-world medical/zoological approach is really intriguing!" — Vampire bat biologist Bill Schutt (Dark Banquet: Blood and the Curious Lives of Blood-Feeding Creatures)

      "The kind of comics we need more of... If you're not reading Witch Doctor, I have no recourse but to seriously question your taste in comics." - Rantz Hoseley, creator of Vix!, Displaced Petsons and editor of Comic Book Tattoo
