Who Will Save the World?

Story Rita Gorgoni and Stefano Cardoselli

Written by Rita Gorgoni

Art by Stefano Cardoselli

32 page black and white one-shot
The Western Front. September 12, 1914. It’s early morning in the French trenches. Two soldiers eat as rain drowns the land. A strange green cloud covers the land as the sun rises. The smell of death grows as a sinister shadow is cast upon the trenches: the Germans are attacking. The French quickly arm themselves and open fire on the approaching enemy soldiers, but their bullets might as well be spit balls. The German soldiers who do fall, rise instantly and continue their approach. What ensues is a morning of massacre, the French had no chance. When the Medical teams arrive, all that remain are pieces of what were once soldiers: devoured by an unknown weapon.
As the French tend to their dead, the Germans are just a few miles outside of Paris.  The Germans have harnassed a chemical formula that instantly revives their fallen soldiers. Germany now holds the most dangerous weapon on the planet. They call their new army "The Green Skull." It doesn’t take long for Germany to overwhelm and overthrow all of France and Italy, the rest of Europe is next.



The Empire is winning this war and now they prepare to take Britain. In an attempt to combat the quickly approaching attack, Britain calls on the US for assistance.

Darkslinger to do benefit print for Chile



Darkslinger Comics to release print for Chilean earthquake relief
Darkslinger Comics in conjunction with artist Macro Roblin will be releasing a print to raise donations to benefit the victims of the Chilean earthquakes.

Molalla, Oregon. April 13th, 2010. Darkslinger Comics will be releasing a print with artwork by Chilean artist, Marco Roblin to benefit the victims of the 2010 Chilean earthquakes.
The print is fully rendered by Marco and features two of Darkslinger flagship characters, David from Ghost Assassin and Le Mime from El Bovine Muerte. One hundred percent of proceeds will go to help the Chilean organization, Un Techo Para Chile (A roof for Chile).

The print will first be debuted at the Stumptown Comics Festival (Portland, OR April 24th-25th). After that Darkslinger will continue to sell the print through various conventions in Oregon and Washington as well as online at http://www.darkslinger.com/

Artist Marco Roblin states that this is the most important piece he has done. In his own words "this (the earthquake) was a huge blow. Both physically and emotionally, having the opportunity to do this piece gives me a chance to contribute in the healing process. We had a choice between doing something with some humor or something directly related to the earthquake. In the end, we chose humor as during this time the images of pain and destruction are so clear in our minds that doing a retelling of that would be a bad tribute."

The print will be sold strictly on donations, meaning that anyone can buy one no matter the amount they have to donate. Of course, higher donations are appreciated as they will go further in recovery goals, but small donations under ten dollars will still help and are still very much appreciated.

Chronicles of Van Helsing signing tomorrow!

Adam Watson, Tony Morgan and Alan Bennett will all be at Cosmic Monkey Comics tomorrow from 12-2 for a Chronicles of Van Helsing signing.  Cosmic Monkey is located at 5335 NE Sandy Blvd, Portland, OR
