What a terrific idea for a game! I love the vibrant, cartoony look of the characters. I wonder if the band knows how to play more than the one song?

Time Lincoln

March 29th, 2010

Just got through reading Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter by Seth Grahame-Smith, author of Pride And Prejudice And Zombies; I’ll try to post a review of the book some time soon.

In the meantime, check out this amazing cover:

Cover Art For Time Lincoln Issue 1

As if a vampire hunting Abe Lincoln wasn’t enough, our 16th President once again receives the superheroic treatment in Time Lincoln, a one-shot comic book by Fred Perry!

Here’s the description from the Antarctic Press website:

What happens when the Great Emancipator is suddenly freed from the bonds of time to right wrongs throughout history? On the night of his assassination, Abraham Lincoln’s life is threatened not by an angry actor, but by Void Stalin, the man who is literally the greatest villain of all time! Somehow, Lincoln is destined to wage war upon Void Stalin’s forces of evil in the past, present and future, and the time-traveling tyrant is determined to make sure that never comes to pass! In his last hour, he lived a lifetime!

Fun stuff!
