April 6th, 2011

Man. We’ve got so much going on here in Witch Doctor Town that I’m having trouble keeping people updated about it!

But the next thing is this:  Witch Doctor: Under the Knife, an art show detailing the birth and evolution of Witch Doctor at Sequential Art Gallery here in Portland.  The gallery opening is tomorrow, April 7, during downtown’s First Thursday art walk from 6-10 pm.  (Here’s the , if that’s how you roll.)  Lukas will of course be on hand; I will too.  Plus, Witch Doctor: First Incision 2010 (the issue we put out at San Diego Comic Con 2010) will finally be on sale in Portland at the event!

The EXTRA awesome thing about this is that the universe has conspired to give you a full night’s worth of Witch Doctor-themed activities, as OMSI Science Pub has a presentation about Henrietta Lacks, whose cancer cells have lived on as their own self-perpetuating organism, HeLa, in labs around the world.  And also?  Amazing local dark folk act Run On Sentence is doing a birthday show at The Woods, Southeast Portland’s funeral parlor-turned-venue.  So if you really want to make a night of it, go to Science Pub, then come to the art show, and end your night at The Woods!

Lukas and I are also guests of Stumptown Comics Fest, which is next weekend April 16 and 17.  We’ll have more information about that when I’ve got time to share it, including the times and locations of the panels we’ll be on!  I’m also hoping to find time for a WonderCon recap, or at least a roundup on the press that’s coming out of there about us.

  • About Witch Doctor

    It's a sick world.

    Literally -- the universe is an organism, and the creatures of myth and folklore are invading parasites, preying on the native species and disrupting the ordered systems of the world.

    It's a sick world, and Dr. Vincent Morrow's here to treat it. Headhunted into an exciting new career in the black arts after his excommunication from the medical community, Morrow serves the world with both hands -- one in magic, one in medicine -- as earth's protector. Earth's Witch Doctor.

    Witch Doctor is a medical horror comic written by Brandon Seifert and illustrated by Lukas Ketner, published by Skybound Entertainment and Image Comics.

    "Mental.” — Warren Ellis (Transmetropolitan, The Authority, Black Summer)

    "It's a book so smart I can barely describe it.” — Robert Kirkman (The Walking Dead, Invincible, Marvel Zombies)

    “Brandon Seifert is a creator to watch.  The man has the stuff!!” — Brian Michael Bendis (The Avengers, Ultimate Spider-Man)

    “Basically, I'm jealous. Bastards!” — Ben Templesmith (30 Days of Night, Wormwood: Gentleman Corpse)

    "One guy I'm real excited about is Lukas Ketner... [Witch Doctor is] a great book, and they [Seifert and Ketner] have a lot of talent.” - Scott Allie, Dark Horse Senior Mangaging Editor

    "Witch Doctor is awesome. It's House, M.D. by way of H.P. Lovecraft. Witty, gross, gorgeously drawn and just plain fun." - Brett Warnock, publisher, Top Shelf

    "Any true horror fan should keep their eyes on Seifert and Ketner." - Mike Dringenberg (co-creator of The Sandman)

    "There should be more horror comics like Witch Doctor. It's got the gross outs, and the cool characters, but it has ideas, too. It's a horror comic where they got a good artist and then thought, 'Oh man, what if we got a good writer too?' And that puts them a big leg up." - Joey Comeau, A Softer World

    "Lukas Ketner [is] a fast rising star in the world of illustration." - Publishers Weekly's The Beat

    "I was instantly reminded of a childhood spent reading classic horror comics like Creepy and Eerie... [Seifert and Ketner's] real-world medical/zoological approach is really intriguing!" — Vampire bat biologist Bill Schutt (Dark Banquet: Blood and the Curious Lives of Blood-Feeding Creatures)

    "The kind of comics we need more of... If you're not reading Witch Doctor, I have no recourse but to seriously question your taste in comics." - Rantz Hoseley, creator of Vix!, Displaced Petsons and editor of Comic Book Tattoo
