Southeastern Utah, 1934. A dark and ancient conspiracy is afoot in a small town set amid endless hills of warped and twisted sandstone. Local law enforcement seems powerless to stop a murderous magic from claiming victim after victim. Unraveling the plot will require a man of skill. A man equally at ease with magic and reason. A good man. A man of humility. But also a cunning man. Hiram Wooley has these qualities. But his practiced command of Old World Braucher skills and folklore magic may have met its match when faced with a primeval curse as old as human history itself.

Cruise ship Queen of the Sea has been accidentally transported from the modern-day present to the ancient Mediterranean not long after the death of Alexander the Great. Now Captain Lars Floden and the other Ship People attempt to plant the seeds of 21st century civilization in the distant past. Although they have alliances among the locals, upstart heir Cassander is using foul means to claim Macedonia and Greece, brutal general Antigonus One-Eye is doing the same in Mesopotamia, and Pharaoh Ptolemy, the cleverest of them all, is expanding his Egyptian realm to the Red Sea. It’s a strange brew that has a chance to transform history and help humanity avoid centuries of strife. That is, if it doesn't kill everyone first.

Hound Dog Media’s crowdfunding campaign for the officially licensed Black Tide Rising: Volume 1 graphic novel adaptation is fully funded! It will go into full production very shortly; adapted by legendary comics writer Chuck Dixon with art by Derlis Santacruz, colors by Brett Smith, and the cover you see below by iconic Star Wars artist Dave Dorman!

The fun doesn’t end there though, because there are two stretch goals that will add 8 pages each to the finished graphic novel, taking it from 48 pages to 56, and up to 64 full-color pages! Going to blacktiderising.com will take you straight to the campaign page, where you can select your backer reward and help knock out those stretch goals!

The campaign itself ends on October 21st at 11:59PM Pacific Time, but it will transition to Indiegogo’s “InDemand” mode, which allows for more backers to participate for a much longer period of time!

Some premium rewards, however, such as those that get you drawn into the book by veteran Marvel/DC artist Derlis Santacruz, won’t last long due to production requirements. If you want one of those, act fast!

We’ve also got a great option to consider with Veteran’s Day around the corner, where you can purchase copies that Hound Dog Media will distribute to active servicemembers at various military bases and/or veterans at VA Facilities! You can buy single copies for Troops/Vets, a 5-pack for them at 20% off the list price, or choose a level that gets you a copy and sends one to a vet or servicemember!
