Kickstart This: "Rad Erwank" (Kowalczuk & Teagle)Łukasz Kowalczuk's Selfdropkick imprint is at it again with a brand new one-shot comicbook making its Kickstarter debut. This time around, the "stupid comics for smart people" creator teams up with British graphic artist and writer Jack Teagle to tell an epic story of a past-his-prime space adventurer. Who is Rad Erwank, and are his ass-kicking skills enough to save the planet?
A few months back we wrote about a few good things on the horizon from Kowalczuk & co. and the just launched campaign for the "Rad Erwank" one-shot is one of them. While we've covered and recommended Kowalczuk's comics in the past (Vreckless Vrestlers and SLIME! among them), he's not the one providing the art for Erwank, instead focusing on the writing duties. Jack Teagle is a UK artist who I first heard of when I stumbled on his "bootleg Simpsons" comics, but since then I've became a fan of his pop culture-inspired art prints and original comics. If you check out his website you'll get a good idea of the type of work Teagle excels at. Clearly, these two just seem like a perfect tag team. Rad Erwank himself made a brief appearance in Kowalczuk's "Violent Skate Bulldogs" before, so all you continuity nerds can now start freaking out about a possible "Kowalczukverse" forming before your eyes! Here's an extra bit of info about the project provided by the authors: RAD ERWANK
