Rantz Hoseley on Witch Doctor

July 17th, 2008

Rantz Hoseley, creator of Vix!, Displaced Persons and editor of Tori Amos’ Comic Book Tattoo anthology from Image, had some very kind things to say about Witch Doctor

Witch Doctor is the kind of comics we need more of: Witty, self-aware, intelligent stories that acknowledge where comics have been while confidently striding into the future.

Each page is a treasure, with lush, evocative art punctuated by razor sharp dialogue by iconic, yet unique characters. This intoxicating chemistry spins together in a dizzying blend that jolts and revives a genre that many would dismiss as being strip-mined of any potential.

If you’re not reading Witch Doctor, I have no recourse but to seriously question your taste in comics.

Damn. Thanks Rantz!

In other Witch Doctor news… there is no Witch Doctor news. Yet. I’m working on the script for Witch Doctor: Second Incision (which should come out this fall, and is tentatively titled “Haunted Housecall”), and Lukas has been doing some re-designs of our cast based on feedback we got on First Incision and our own revised thoughts on what we’re making. Hopefully we’ll have some real news soon! Thanks everybody who’s read our book and cheered us on!

  • 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: First Incision is a 16-page medical horror comic introducing the Witch Doctor universe, written by Brandon Seifert and illustrated by Lukas Ketner.
