Skin Horse vol. 7 & 8 (Reprint)

Story

Every day, Project Skin Horse does its best to aid America's nonhuman citizens. Whether hunting Jersey Devils, delving into an unsettling cute VR world, or just helping out a couple of talking opossums, Skin Horse is ready for almost anything. But the team's latest missions will force it to confront its inner demons and sacrifice its best outfits…

Volumes 7 and 8 of the acclaimed daily webcomic Skin Horse are out of print, and we intend to remedy that! Volume 7 covers the storylines "Looking-Glass Land," "Can't Catch Me," and "What Big Teeth."  Volume 8 includes "Purple Waves," "Yes Virginia," "Fun for Some," and "Sure as You're Born." Each volume also includes bonus stories and introductions by guest writers.

Backers will be able to get the new printings of these volumes as well as all other volumes in the complete 12-book series. Complete your collection! Start a new one! Print collections of Shaenon’s previous comic, Narbonic, are also available as an add-on bonus.

As an extra bonus, all backers will also receive a digital copy of an all-new Skin Horse prose story, written by Jeff with illustrations by Shaenon.

Testimonials

“Skin Horse is laugh-out-loud funny, in the way that the Marx Brothers were funny: It starts with something that is just barely plausible and then piles up incongruities into a massive, complicated structure built entirely of crazy.” 

—Brigid Alverson, Comic Book Resources

“You can jump in at any point and be up to speed in no time, but once you're hooked, there's nothing to be done but to go back to the beginning and read it all through again.” 

—Paul Haggerty, SFRevu.com

“Skin Horse is one of the smartest, funniest, long-con-est webcomics around.”

—Gary Tyrrell, Fleen

Bio

Jeffrey Channing Wells (co-author) reluctantly began writing fictions in 1996 when the theater department at his university denied him access to the vocal performance classes he actually wanted, and the world has not been safe since. He is the author of numerous plays, serial stories and robot battle anthems (actually, just the one) and is now apparently co-writing a webcomic. He is kind of at a loss as to how this all happened.

Shaenon K. Garrity (co-author and artist) has written and/or drawn a lot of webcomics, including Narbonic, Li’l Mell, and Monster of the Week. Her graphic novel The Dire Days of Willowweep Manor, with art by Christopher Baldwin, is available from Simon and Schuster.
