Black Hole Wizard

Black Hole Wizard is a comic book series that explores the weirder recesses of science fiction and fantasy, the droning soundscapes of doom metal, and the new aesthetics of 21st Century occultism.

In case anyone has missed my shameless self promotion over the past month, I will be exhibiting at emeraldcitycomicon in Seattle this weekend. I’ll be at Artist Alley table ‪#‎U‬-03 repping both Black Hole Wizard and Problem Glyphs with my co-creator, Eliza Gauger. We’ll have art prints, ashcan comics, buttons, patches, stickers, and other weird stuff for sale. Please bring whiskey. Thanks in advance.

Take A Trip Into The Weird With A Black Hole Wizard - Bleeding Cool Comic Book, Movie, TV News

“Do you remember the feeling the first time you encountered something truly strange? Maybe it was the cover a copy of Heavy Metal Magazine stashed in the attic, a relic of your dad’s misspent youth in the 70s. Or was it Dave Trampier’s illustrations in the moldering pages of the original D&D Player’s Handbook in the basement?  Combine that feeling with the shock of the first time you saw a friend’s older brother smoking pot, and you have a pretty good idea about what my comic book project, Black Hole Wizard, is trying to evoke.”

Bleeding Cool offered writer Simon Berman the opportunity to talk about Black Hole Wizard and its influences. 

It’s fun to take a trip.

[blackholewizard]

We are excited to announce that Black Hole Wizard will be exhibiting at Emerald City Comic Con later this month! Meet creators Simon Berman and Eliza Gauger at ECCC March 27th - 29th at Artist Alley booth #U-03. We'll be offering art prints, stickers, and a chance to see some in-progress work on the comic. Eliza Gauger's Problem Glyphs project will be represented at the same table.

BLACK HOLE WIZARD RETURNS

Suspended in the Void for over a year, the wizard stirs. Creators Simon Berman and Eliza Gauger have been hard at work planning the creation and release of their anticipated comics series, Black Hole Wizard. With their other projects sufficiently underway they finally have the time to make their heady vision a reality.

But, this being the foul year of our Lord, two thousand fifteen, we need your help. Both Simon and Eliza are involved with numerous other endeavors that pay our bills, including the ongoing Problem Glyphs project. Producing a comic book to professional standards is a time consuming and difficult process requiring a huge amount of our attention. With our new Patreon, you can help us. The first two issues are written, concept art is finished, and the whole of the first six issue story arc, Return Trip, is outlined and ready to go.

In return for your support on Patreon you’ll receive advance looks at finished pages, behind the scenes access to live-drawing sessions and even chances to receive original artwork, signed scripts, and other swag from time to time.

Thanks for your interest over the past few years and if you choose to help support us in bringing the wizard from the Void, thanks for your hard earned dollars. We won’t let you down.
