Will Caligan’s Comic
Top Backers
God bless you Will Caligan!
This is a special one-week campaign designed to provide work for Will Caligan, a military veteran, a Christian, and a comic artist who was swarmed by SJWs and lost his publishing arrangement due to his willingness to stand up for his beliefs about right and wrong. All of the funds raised will go to paying for the production of one or more comics illustrated by Will that will be published by Arkhaven. The graphic novel – or novels – will be based on novels chosen by the backers that have been contributed by various authors, and comics legend Chuck Dixon will be providing the initial adapted script for free. A Gold-rate team of colorists, Arklight Studios, will provide the colors for the cover at a steep discount.
For more details about Will’s story, please read the article written by Megan Fox . Will is a Desert Storm veteran and Airborne Counterintelligence Agent who attained the rank of Specialist. Here are several examples of Will’s work. To see more of them, please visit .
The authors who have granted permission to utilize their graphic novel rights for this project are: Nick Cole (The End of the World as We Knew It), Peter Grant (Rocky Mountain Retribution) , Lawdog (The Lawdog Files), Rolf Nelson (The Stars Came Back), Kai Wai Cheah (Flashpoint: Titan), Rawle Nyanzi (Sword and Flower), and John C. Wright (Swan Knight’s Son). The choice of the novel to be adapted will be made by the backers in an email poll.
The precise size of the graphic novel will depend upon the novel adapted, but it is expected to be around 132 pages. Will Caligan’s comic will be published in a series of 22-page comics and as a single graphic novel, in black-and-white format with a full color cover. A color interior is one of the stretch goals. Below is an example of the coloring done by the Arklight Studios team for an Alt★Hero cover.
50 percent of the revenues derived from any subsequent sales of the comics and graphics novels will go to Will and the direct contributors to producing the comic.
