Get ready to meet the monsters who fight back.
Monster Forge is proud to announce a terrifying new lineup of horror-fueled comic book releases, headlined by the highly anticipated anthology Forge of Monsters. This bold new series introduces an original cast of monstrous heroes, set to carve out their legend in the ever-expanding Monster Forge Universe — where the raw, twisted energy of old-school horror comics is reborn.
And it’s paired with two additional titles: Hunters — a gritty prequel set during the building of the U.S. railroad, and Atlantean — a standalone graphic novella plunging readers into a mythic underground nightmare.
This is your only chance to grab these first-edition releases, packed with extras and made for fans of cosmic horror, pulp action, and monsters with meaning.

The Amazing Spider-Man Classic Newspaper Comics
Stan Lee and John Romita’s Classic Comic Strips collected in a deluxe softcover slipcase edition by Clover Press and LOAC!
For the first time ever in softcover, Stan Lee and John Romita’s THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN NEWSPAPER COMICS returns to print in Clover Press’s spectacular new line of deluxe slipcase editions!
The Amazing Spider-Man swung into newsprint on Monday, January 3, 1977! The web-slinger’s daily strip brought Marvel’s most popular hero from comic pages to newspapers worldwide. Through Stan Lee’s storytelling and John Romita’s masterful art, the strip delivered dramatic storylines that pitted Spidey against classic foes while introducing brand new characters…like The Rattler! In doing so, the strip helped make Spider-Man a household name beyond the comic book stands.
The Library of American Comics remastered and collected the strip in a series of hardcover collections, many of which are out of print, and highly sought after. Now, Clover Press and The Library of American Comics are bringing the collections back to print in an affordable softcover format!
We’re collecting the strip strictly by year, reprinting each installment from January 1 to December 31. Each volume will measure 11″ x 8.5″ in a horizontal format. Additionally, each book will slide into a vertical slipcase, designed for protection and easy shelving.
In this first offering, we’re collecting the strip from the years 1977 to 1980. By backing this Kickstarter campaign, you will receive all four volumes in one bundle, plus have the opportunity for special tiers and add-ons as detailed below!
Jaycen Wise & the Tablets of Kush
Jaycen is an immortal hero who reclaims stolen artifacts from museums and returns them to their ancestral homes.
The Comics Courier, A Comics Criticism Journal [Issue 3]
A newspaper-format journal dedicated to in-depth comics criticism edited by Tiffany Babb
The Comics Courier is a tabloid-sized newspaper-format journal of in-depth comics criticism aimed at fans who love a tactile, old school reading experience.
Each issue of the Courier is writer-driven, which means that our writers choose their own topics based on their own comics-related interests, so you’ll find a diversity of types and eras of comics written about in each issue.
Our third issue will be packed with great essays, reviews, and interviews from comics critics and journalists, Susana Polo, Jeremy Dauber, Sara Century, Claire Napier, Zack Deane, Kate Tanski, Hassan Otsmane-Elhaou, Oliver Sava, Benjamin Clark, Steve Morris, David Harper, and Tiffany Babb.
Like with our first two issues (which you can pick up here or as an Add-On to your pledge), we are aiming to create a new space for vibrant and rigorous writing about comics in print form as well as a slower, more intentional reading experience for those who love comics criticism like we do.
Thank you so much for your support, we can’t wait to get the third issue of The Comics Courier into your mailbox!

Los Ojos vol 1: The Eyes of the Dead
Los Ojos is a supernatural action story for mature readers about a hitman who battles demons. Think John Wick meets John Constantine.
Andres Sanchez is a hitman for hire with a special ability – when he looks people in los ojos (the eyes) he doesn’t see them as human, he sees them as angels or demons. He believes demons walk among us disguised as people, and he uses his ability to select his targets, only killing those he thinks are monsters. But lately he’s started to question if his special sight is showing him the truth, or if he’s just crazy.
Haunted by the possibility that he may be killing people and not monsters, Andres now has to rethink his powers and his profession. At the same time, he’s forging a relationship with a woman and her son that he saved, learning what it means to be a father – all while secretly being hunted by both the FBI!

EVEL KNIEVEL #1 from Ringo Award-Winner 21`
The legendary daredevil makes the death-defying leap into comics. From Half Evil Comics, publisher of THE JUMP and THE BREACH.
The legendary daredevil EVEL KNIEVEL makes the death-defying leap into comics in his very first full-length series from the fine folks at Half Evil Comics!
Brought to life by Ringo Award-winning writer Rylend Grant (THE JUMP and THE PEACEKEEPERS), artist Dave Acosta (TERRORWAR, ELVIRA, and DRAGON), Letterer HdE, and editor R.E. Nelson… with some real bitchin’ covers by Ray-Anthony Height, Flops, Jon Pinto, and Fabio Alves.
Made possible with TONS of support from the Evel Knievel Brand, Kelly Knievel (Evel’s son), and the fine folks at the Evel Knievel Museum.
Evel is one of the most iconic characters in American history. A folk hero in the truest sense of the word. Well, we’ve leaned WAY the hell into that here.
I’m a screenwriter by trade. For over a decade, I’ve made my living writing smart, mind-bending action thrillers for directors like JJ Abrams, Ridley Scott, Justin Lin, John Woo, Luc Besson, and F. Gary Gray, so I can’t help but think of things in cinematic terms. Our original mandate here was to make Evel an adventurer, to find this character’s Smokey and the Bandit or his No Country for Old Men. And I think we ended up with something pretty damn incredible.
We see this story as a modern Western. Some fit of terrible befalls a community. Evel is the swaggery gunslinger who rides in on a steel horse, howling at the goddamn moon and solves the mystery, runs the bad guys out of town, and beds the local bombshell.
Fiction aside, we went out of our way to honor the actual history. This first story arc of the series – titled THE LAST GLADIATOR – will start with Evel crashing at Caesar’s. We’ll be there when he goes from relative unknown to stratospherically-famous, essentially overnight. It’s then, when he has the entire world’s attention that he boldly declares that he’s going to jump Snake River Canyon.
We’ll also see him brawl with more bikers at the Cow Palace in San Francisco… we’ll be there for his wonderfully infamous “million dollar party” in Butte, Montana… we’ll see him win bets, bed woman, and fight jerks in bars… we’ll see him jump just about everything a lovable lunatic could on a motorcycle… and we’ll adore him for it.
