Testimonials

  • “So excited to have had the chance to read this fantastic first offering from these new Canadian comic creators.  Not only does the art convey the emotion and impact of the story wonderfully but the writing weaves a tale of behavioural analysis with the actuality of how people react in primal situations.  I can’t wait to see where this story goes next.”

    – Christopher Runciman, writer/artist of Elmwood, Space Opera Story and Stream of Conceitedness

  • “Sasquatch: Klondike is a unique story with true Canadian roots that unfolds its full creepy potential through its stark black and white imagery. Following in the footsteps of settlers and monster alike this enjoyable read will surely keep you on the edge of your seat.”

    -Andrew Tong, Artist/Illustrator of Variant Cover, Sasquatch; Klondike #1

  • "...Chad and Johnny have managed to not only lure the elusive beast out of hiding, but have added unique layers to the legend with a gripping story and stylized art that feels true to the time period. You don’t have to believe Sasquatch exists to believe in this fun new comic series. If you are like me, you will support your Canadian indie creators and the new legends they are making for you! I can’t wait to see how this story will unfold, how it will creep out of hiding from the dark, mysterious North and enter our nightmares.”

    – Casey Parsons, Artist/Cover Illustrator (DC, Image, Cauldron…)
