Get ready to return to the weird Wild West as the critically acclaimed comic book Midnight Western Theatre is resurrected from series co-creator Louis Southard and comics crowdfunding publisher Zoop!
Following their initial collaboration of Comics Are Dying: The Comic (an original graphic novel featuring over 100 industry artists telling the history of the comic book industry), Southard and Zoop are entering year two of their partnership with a whole new project.
“After the success of Comics Are Dying, I really wanted to do something special for the next campaign,” explains writer Louis Southard. “So, I figured I’d return to the book that officially launched my comics career and try to give it the treatment I always thought it deserved. Zoop has proved to be a dependable partner and I know we will print a fine collected edition of the entire series for readers to finally enjoy.”
Originally published by the now-defunct Scout Comics, Midnight Western Theatre proved to be a quick fan favorite in its initial launch. Spawning a sequel series and even a former television adaptation deal, the comic has been praised by creators like Patton Oswalt, Ryan North, David Pepose, Leinil Yu, and more.
Featuring a wide array of talent such as artists David Hahn (Batman ’66) and Butch K. Mapa (DC Horror Presents, Marvel Action: Avengers), the series focuses on the life of undead adventurer Ortensia Thomas, AKA the Woman in Black, as she faces vampires, witches, demons, outlaws, and whatever else lurks in the shadows of a supernatural new frontier! Collecting all ten issues of the original comic book run and a slew of supplementary material, the complete collection is a 240-page tome of Wild West action and fun.
However, the book can only exist with your help! Starting today (Feb. 4), Zoop has officially launched the Midnight Western Theatre campaign to run until February 28th. So, load up your six-shooter and dust off your cowboy hat, support Midnight Western Theatre: The Complete Collection and add this epic comic book series to your bookshelf!
