Bob Kelsey Investigates – ‘The Return’ to Launch Next Week

03/01/201422/05/2016 / Barry Nugent / Leave a comment

Last year we launched the first story in the Unseen Shadows webcomic entitled ‘Bob Kelsey Investigates’ featuring our cynical reporter Bob Kelsey and his mis-adventures through the shadowy world of the occult and the supernatural. The first story entitled Neck on the Line is still available to read online here. Soon after ‘Neck on the Line’ story went live another two scripts went into development the first of which will be hitting the website next week.

‘The Return’ is written by Dan Thompson with art and lettering by Jake Rowlingson. In this one page story we see Bob Kelsey, who has faced all manner of dangers both human and otherwise, now facing possibly his greatest adversary to date.

You will be able to check out the story here for free next week. If, in the mean time, you would check out Bob’s other adventures you can of course read ‘Neck on the Line’ or The Immaculate Abortion of Dina Leigh which you can pick up on it’s own from Comicsy (Digital Download) and Amazon (Kindle) or as part of the Tales of the Forgotten Anthology also available from Comicsy and Amazon.

To read Bob’s very first appearance there is of course the novel Fallen Heroes, where it all started.

Knights of Cademus – New Artwork

We are now at the halfway point in the with the Knights of Cademus one shot and hopefully the rest of the comic will be finished in November. So I thought this was a good moment to give you a reminder of just who the Knights of Cademus are with some new full colour panels from James Evans.

Those with any kind of military training who join the Book of Cademus usually find themselves singled out to be trained as Knights of Cademus. Descended from Sir Oliver’s Cademus’ personal army this is the strong-arm of the cult and their most dangerous weapon. Kidnapping, torture and murder are all in a day’s work for a Knight of Cademus.

Their blind loyalty and faith to the Cabal is only matched by their ruthlessness towards those who would oppose the will of the Cabal. Death holds know fear for a Knight of Cademus, who will willingly sacrifice themselves if the mission calls for it.

The Knights of Cademus by Virgil Yendell, James Evans and Paul Mclaren will be released digitally in the new year and will be one of the stories in the third Unseen Shadows anthology…more details of which coming soon.

The Knights of Cademus are Coming

So over the past years the comics that have been released have been focusing on the heroes and heroines of the Unseen Shadows Universe, it’s time for that to change.

The next story from the pen of Virgil Yendell will be focusing on the Knights of Cademus who are the strong-arm of the Book of Cademus and their most dangerous weapon. Kidnapping, torture and murder are all in a day’s work for a Knight of Cademus. Their blind loyalty and faith to the Cabal is only matched by their ruthlessness towards those who would oppose the will of the Cabal.

Virgil’s story ‘The Knights of Cademus’ will focus on two young men in two different time periods and their journey towards becoming members of the order. On art and lettering duties is James Evans.

Here’s an early look at some of the character sketches for the story.

Bob Kelsey Investigates: ‘The Immaculate Abortion of Dina Leigh’ Free For a Day On Free Comic Book Day

03/05/201322/05/2016 / Barry Nugent / Leave a comment

Seeing as we are celebrating Free Comic Book Day with the launch of the Bob Kelsey Investigates Web Comic we thought we would give you an extra surprise. To really get you immersed in Kelsey’s world we have decided that for the duration of Free Comic Book Day (4th May) to give away a free digital download of his first adventure outside of the Fallen Heroes novel The Immaculate Abortion of Dina Leigh. The 22 page comic was written by Cy Dethan, with art by Valia Kapadai and letters by Nic Wilkinson. In many ways if Bob Kesley Investigates: was a TV series then The Immaculate Abortion of Dina Leigh would be the feature length pilot episode. The great thing about this comic and the first Bob Kelsey Investigates tale ‘Neck on the Line’ is it doesn’t matter which one you read first. A pdf of the comic will be available to download for one day only so don’t miss out tomorrow when the links go live!

In the meantime here’s the synopsis, cover and a 4 page preview.

The Truth makes liars of us all. The Truth will kill you, or get you killed. It’ll steal your marriage and your daughter’s love. The Truth will get you shot and left for dead in the desert…

So when a woman tells you she woke up in a bathtub full of blood and ice with stitches in her belly that she can’t explain, you’ll know it’s the Truth because nothing else smells or feels or hurts that bad – and you’ll fall for it all over again, even though you know you were lucky before and it’ll burn you even worse this time.

This, then, is the story of The Immaculate Abortion of Dina Leigh – and I’m daring you to call me a liar…

“Bob Kelsey is an everyman in a world populated with monsters and heroes. To survive in those hunting grounds takes the self-preservation instincts of a feral rat. That’s what Bob Kelsey is to me.” – Cy Dethan.
