Hospice: The Collector

Allen Buchholz is the greatest comic book collector of all time. How did he build his collection? Through horrible horrible acts…

Current Funding: $1,657

Funding Goal: $2,500

Link: Hospice: The Collector

Hospice is an ambitious shared universe horror project that started in 2023 for the first season’s trade, created by a powerhouse team of creators: Travis Gibb, Frank Martin, Jamie Primack, Russell Nohelty, David Byrne, and Michael Watson. Together, they delivered a chilling, interconnected world that pushes the boundaries of horror storytelling, blending their unique voices into a haunting experience unlike anything you’ve

seen before. Each story is standalone and has the unique style and flair of their respective creators.

Allen Buchholz had assembled the greatest comic collection known to man, but how did he get it? Theft, extortion, and even murder… Hospice: The Collector follows Al as he builds his collection and is recruited to be another kind of collector…a GRIM REAPER a COLLECTOR OF SOULS!

This is a self contained single issue horror/humor comic book.

Based off Austin’s real life relative Allen Buchholz. Allen had an amazing comic collection full of heroes and horror. He left it to Austin after his passing. Austin watched Al die in a Hospice and thought the best way to repay him would be to make a comic with his name and likeness (he would’ve love this and it has all been approved by his estate).
