It’s 2008+1 day, and WitchDoctorComic.com is live… though not quite ready for the public!
Witch Doctor is a new comic coming in 2008, drawn by Lukas Ketner and written by me, Brandon Seifert. It’s a hospital horror story — a medical drama spliced with urban dark fantasy. Hellboy meets House M.D.
The “witch doctor” of the title […]
Inspired by, among other projects, Zuda Comics’ High Moon, I’ve decided to start a workblog in this space.
I’m halfway through the second draft of the script for our first issue. I can tell you it’s about vampires. I can also tell you it’s about vampires as you’ve never seen them before — and […]
Things are moving along. Lukas and I will be releasing Witch Doctor: First Incision, our 16-page ‘demo’, at the fifth annual Stumptown Comics Fest in Portland, Oregon on April 26 and 27. We’ll be holding an official release party the next week, on Thursday, May 1st. And a week or two after […]
I posted Lukas’ sketch of our vampire as a bulletin on the Witch Doctor MySpace the other day — and MySpace kindly deleted it for us.
“We had to remove an image (or images) from your account because they violated our Terms of Use,” said the message they sent us. “Our site is for people […]
To go along with the online release of First Incision, here’s the text piece I did for the back of the print version.
I swear to God, all we wanted was a portfolio piece. Not a brain infection.
A portfolio piece is all Witch Doctor: First Incision was supposed to be for me and Lukas. […]
It’s 1:30 in the morning here in Portland. Witch Doctor: First Incision has been online for 24 hours. In that time we’ve had 360 people read our comic (pretty good for a site that averaged 10-15 people a day!), we’ve gotten written about on a local media blog and SFFWorld, plugged by comics […]
You’re invited to the official release party for Witch Doctor: First Incision this Thursday, May 1st, at Floating World Comics (NW 5th and Couch, across from Upper Playground and kittycorner from Just Be/Compound and Backspace) from 6-10 pm.
It’s a conjoined release party for Witch Doctor and new local publications Diamond Comics and Capture Release, and […]
Witch Doctor: First Incision is currently available for purchase at Floating World Comics (corner of NW 5th and Couch, across from Upper Playground) in Portland.
And if you’re in Seattle during the Emerald City Comic Con this weekend, you can get a copy too — just not at the Con. Lukas and I didn’t manage […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 from Brandon Seifert and Lukas Ketner.
Each issue of Witch Doctor will be accompanied by a streaming soundtrack posted here!
"The comic book I'm most looking forward to this year... Lukas Ketner's art is fantastic and Brandon Seifert's writing is fucking brilliant. I can't wait to see where they go with this book." - Mark Sweeney, colorist of Warren Ellis' Black Summer
"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
