Baseball Meets Monsters in Sullivan’s Sluggers Graphic Novel

Jun 8, 2012

Baseball and Horror are two of my favorite pastimes, and Mark Andrew Smith has put together a Kickstarter Project to bring the two together in a graphic novel, Sullivan’s Sluggers. The project has already reached 1000% funding, so they might have to include actual players with each copy of the book sold (I’d prefer that than actual monsters).

From the Project:

Sullivan’s Sluggers is a baseball horror graphic novel written by Mark Andrew Smith with art by James Stokoe (Orc Stain).

The Story…

Long past their former glory, the minor league Sluggers get an invitation to play a baseball game in a cursed small town. After the 7th inning stretch, the sun goes down, and the dysfunctional teammates find themselves fighting for their lives against a town of flesh-eating monsters!

Now, it’s up to coach Casey Sullivan to help his team escape from being the next dish in the town’s terrifying feeding frenzy!

Eisner & Harvey Award-winning graphic novel author Mark Andrew Smith joins forces with Eisner nominated illustrator James Stokoe for a gripping roller coaster of a graphic novel, packed with shocks, gore, and screamingly outrageous humor, when America’s Favorite Past Time becomes one team’s ultimate nightmare!

There is still a week left to back the project, as it is available exclusively through Kickstarter. You’ll have to act quickly to reserve your own copy.
