Bronze Star 2 by Mike Baron & Pat Broderick

The wait is finally over! The critically acclaimed weird western that redefined the old frontier returns. From Eisner Award-winning chronicler Mike Baron (Nexus, The Punisher, Deadman) and legendary artist Pat Broderick (Creature Commandos, Batman: Year Three,  Micronauts), comes the next chapter in their supernatural saga, Bronze Star!

In the aftermath of the first volume, where Confederate-turned-lawman Harley Brogden faced the horrifying secrets of Cobb’s Gap, and was ultimately rewarded with the role of the town’s new sheriff. This volume rides even further into the frozen heart of the dangerous Canadian frontier.

 

As Christmas nears, Sheriff Brogden struggles to hold his haunted town together against more mythic terrors: the cannibal spirit Wendigo and the depths-dwelling Ogopogo, along with an unexpected visitor whose sharpest weapon is his wit: Oscar Wilde.

If the first volume was “H.P. Lovecraft meets Sergio Leone,” this volume could be called “Deadwood by way of Mary Shelley.”

 

 

BRONZE STAR 2 delivers more chilling tales of survival, redemption, and monsters—both human and otherwise—told with Baron’s trademark grit and Broderick’s breathtaking, cinematic artwork.

 

With your help, we can continue the Bronze Star series, praised as “authentic, manly, and magnificent”  (Dad’s Den of Pop Culture).
