The Draugr

The Draugr started as an 8-page story for Fubar: By the Sword #1.  I fleshed it out a bit more to 20 pages for a stand-alone issue, though retaining the same basic story, with the idea of having it ready for the MICE 2013 comics expo.

It was somewhat of a challenge to use what I had for Fubar as there was a page size discrepancy.  Fubar's pages being a bit taller and much skinnier than the usual stout BL format.  A couple of initial sketched pages which I had cut were re-added to the new version and in general, by adding a panel here and there and slowing the pace of the story a little, I found I could work 2 pages from each original page.  The hope is that they both work in their respective formats.

Also included are 3 pages of guest art from barbaric illustrators Mister Reusch, David Tilton and Nathanial Hamel.
