A Long time ago amid several health issues, I misdiagnosed myself with food poisoning. Days later, I was being rushed to the hospital in a taxi cab as my body was shutting down. Between bouts of unconsciousness, I muttered to the cabbie, “If I die in this cab, I’m going to haunt it.” This was the inspiration for Cyrus Perkins.

Now, 10 years after its initial release, the acclaimed series is back with a commemorative hardcover of the original four-issue series and the long-awaited sequel, Cyrus Perkins and the Death Brigade #1.

After a young boy named Michael Bernbaum dies in his taxi cab, driver Cyrus Perkins must solve the boy’s murder… or be haunted by the spirit trapped in his car! But as Cyrus digs into the mystery surrounding Mikey’s death, he uncovers something even more sinister than murder. Drawn by Anna Lencioni (storyboard artist: Amphibia, Hazbin Hotel, Luck) and written, colored and lettered by Dave Dwonch (The Loose End, Jenny Zero, The Automaton),

Continuing immediately after the events of Cyrus Perkins and the Haunted Taxi Cab, Cyrus finds himself hunted by an evil set loose upon the world. But as the demon begins to circle its prey, revelations from the past will force Cyrus to embrace a previous life long forgotten. Drawn by newcomer, Sacha Levia, this new five-issue series is set to expand the supernatural crime noir world of Cyrus Perkins with a shocking revelation that will leave you reeling.

Philip is searching. For meaning. For connection. For someone to share a moment with.
By day, he works from a rented room. By night, he drifts through cafés and bars, dodging awkward chats with his landlady and hoping for something more. When he meets Gina, a local musician, things begin to shift. But relationships are messy, and Philip’s discomfort grows as he stumbles through miscommunications, emotional misfires, and the looming presence of Gina’s intense ex.

A beautifully observed graphic novel about connection, confusion, and the spaces in between.

ANTIMATTER

A One-Man-thology of Dean Haspiel Deep Cuts

Current Funding: $10,586

Funding Goal: $9,000

Days Left:  2

Link: ANTIMATTER

In Spring of 2023, I launched a self-publishing concern focusing on a series of crowdfunded “Deep Cuts” from my personal pantheon of creator-owned characters, featuring COVID COP, BILLY DOGMA + JANE LEGIT, THE RED HOOK, and CHEST FACE. In Spring of 2026, I will be launching a one-man anthology called “Dean Haspiel’s ANTIMATTER.” From superhero to semi-autobio, ANTIMATTER flexes a sublime synergy of sequential art for mature readers.

“Dean Haspiel’s ANTIMATTER” is inspired by groundbreaking one-person comix anthologies by the likes of Dan Clowes‘ EIGHTBALL, Jessica Abel’s ARTBABE, and Adrian Tomine’s OPTIC NERVE but with a twist. Imagine if Jack Kirby owned all the characters he created and co-created for Marvel and DC Comics. From Captain America and The Hulk to The Fantastic Four and the New Gods. Now imagine Kirby launching a series called ”Kirby Krackle,” featuring new stories from any combination of his characters. Imagine picking up an issue featuring The Thing, Captain Victory, Mister Miracle and Big Barda. How cool would that be?

The debut of ANTIMATTER will feature “Covid Cop Insurrection.” While battling Admiral Amok’s horrific hybrids of America’s most coveted icons in Times Square, Lincoln Bio and Fate Majeure recruit what’s left of humanity, including the only two people immune to the deadly virus, to storm the United States Capitol to end President Pestilence’s evil reign, in hopes of starting a new society only to discover the world’s weirdest escape plan.

ANTIMATTER will also showcase the rise of AI Joe, the street beat of The Red Hook – and more!
