A faceless man follows a cattle drive, seeking justice for a long-forgotten sin. But justice comes in many forms in the West.

If you’re craving a horror comic that actually feels unsettling, The Devil in the Herd is worth your attention. Created, written, and illustrated by Katelyn Windels, this supernatural western follows a faceless, red-eyed figure trailing a cattle drive across the American Southwest. Only one cowboy seems to notice him, and the slow realization of who or what is stalking them drives the tension into something biblical and terrifying. In short, this is the kind of story I could not put down. Its use of colors is exquisite, its art amazing, and its characters deep and intriguing. So much so that Windel has played a lot of cards close to the chest and, in doing so, has made this story even better. Make sure to check it out!

The 9th 200 PAGE BOOK of Lorenzo Etherington’s HOW TO THINK WHEN YOU DRAW ENCYCLOPEDIA + ENTIRE SERIES reprints + NEW INKBOMB BOOK!

If you draw, design, storyboard, or create comics, backing How to THINK when you DRAW Book 9 is a practical investment in your skill set. Created by Lorenzo Etherington, this series has become one of the most successful art tutorial collections in Kickstarter history for a reason. Each 200-page volume is packed with clear, actionable lessons that break down complex subjects like anatomy, gesture, perspective, character design, and visual storytelling into techniques you can apply immediately.

Volume 9 features 100% new tutorials that have never been released online, making this campaign the only way to access them. The earlier volumes have been sold out for a year, and this is the exclusive reprint opportunity to complete or begin your collection. Unlike passive art books, these are structured as working manuals you return to repeatedly. If you are serious about improving your draftsmanship and visual thinking, this project delivers long-term value rather than short-term inspiration.
