Classic Horror Inspired Comic, “The Forbidden Museum” Goes Live On Kickstarter

THE FORBIDDEN MUSEUM Issue #1 is now live on Kickstarter! A comic centered around many faces that will be familiar to fans of classic horror, writer Craig E. Sawyer and illustrator by Luke Archey invite you to a world of terror where Dracula, The Mummy, and the Wolfman roam free!

THE FORBIDDEN MUSEUM asks, “What if Dracula did not die?” Instead of meeting his end at the hands of Jonathan Harker, Van Helsing, Mina Murray, and Quincey Morris, Saywer’s story sees the bloodsucker imprisoned, along with other legendary monsters, inside Harker’s Forbidden Museum, located a mile under the British Museum. When Drac and his cohorts are freed once again by Harker’s great-grandson Henry, the young man must re-imprison them or remain the Museum’s cursed curator forever!

Joining Sawyer and Archey are cover-designer Tom Mandrake, and colorist James G. Brown. The campaign also includes collectible prints available by Terry Wolfinger, Puis Calzada, and Robert Archey.

For further details, check out THE FORBIDDEN MUSEUM, now live on Kickstarter.
