The Phantom Beat — He may be dead, but the work isn’t finished.

Onyx Blight once served and protected the living. Now, death has given him a new purpose. From beyond the grave, he investigates a different breed of criminal—creatures born from myth, legend, and nightmare.

The supernatural world has its own predators, and Onyx Blight is still on the case. Only this time, the criminals aren’t human… and neither is he.

We're down to less than 17 hours for The Phantom Beat campaign.

We need your help to make it over the hurdle. Please support and share this post.

The books are complete, and there will be no long waits for your rewards.

If you're looking for supernatural action with solid stories and art, these books are for you.

Instead of simply providing you with a blurb, a cover, and a few pages from The Phantom Beat and Tau the Warrior, I wanted to take a moment to talk about what you're actually supporting.

The creation of The Phantom Beat comes from my lifelong love of pulp fiction, comics, cartoons, and movies. I'm showing my age here, but before audiobooks, I used to sit in front of the radio in Detroit and listen to rebroadcasts of old shows like The Shadow and The Green Hornet.

I also loved horror comics from Marvel, including The Tomb of Dracula, Man-Thing, and even Howard the Duck. And don't get me started on those classic Hammer horror films starring Peter Cushing and Christopher Lee. Oh, don't let me forget to mention the horror genre, including blaxploitation films like Blacula, Sugar Hill, and J.D.'s Revenge.

All of these things helped inspire The Phantom Beat.

As for Tau the Warrior, I was a huge fan of the Conan the Barbarian comic book series. Later, I discovered Imaro by the late Charles R. Saunders, with whom I had the opportunity to communicate several years before his death. His work was a major reason I wanted to create my own sword-and-sorcery story.

Originally, I planned to write Tau the Warrior as a novel. But then an artist created a visual of the character, and I told myself, "I could make a comic book out of this." That moment changed everything.

At the heart of it all, these books come from my love of these genres and the stories that inspired me throughout my life. The Phantom Beat and Tau the Warrior are my way of sharing that passion with you.

And now, I'm asking for your support in getting these books into readers' hands.

Time is running short, and every pledge and every share helps. If these kinds of stories sound like something you would enjoy, I hope you'll consider supporting the campaign and helping me bring these books to life.

Thank you for taking the time to learn a little more about the stories behind the stories—and thank you to everyone who has supported me along the way.

Just because you're dead doesn't mean the work stops.

Only 6 days remain in The Phantom Beat Kickstarter campaign, and I just want to take a moment to personally thank everyone who has supported it so far.

Creating independent comics is a lot of work, and campaigns like this can be both exciting and stressful. Seeing people believe in my work enough to back the project, share the campaign, or simply offer words of encouragement truly means a lot to me.

There are still 6 days left, and I'm hopeful that we can reach our goal. If you haven't had a chance to support or share the campaign, I would truly appreciate your help spreading the word about The Phantom Beat.

I'm also excited to share that Tau the Warrior has been sent to the printer. Seeing this project move one step closer to becoming a physical comic is an incredible feeling.

Thank you again to everyone who has been part of this journey. Your support means more than you know.

Let's make these final 6 days count!
