Comic book horror western Rougarou
“A blending of superstitions of North America.”
Colorado Territory 1868. A young girl is brutally attacked by a mysterious creature. Not a man. Not a beast. Something else…
As she lays dying the next morning, U.S. Marshal Ira Segwick arrives and recounts the tale of Ezekiel—his brother-in-arms during the Civil War, now cursed by voodoo to roam the earth as an insatiable Rougarou. Now, Ira’s quest to end Ezekiel’s path of terror will lead them to a standoff that no one could have predicted…
“The story is a blending of superstitions of North America,” writer Giles Clarke told Fanbase Press. “The original inspiration for the story came from when I lived near Savannah, Georgia, and first learned about the rougarou in Cajun folklore. Savannah is an incredibly atmospheric town—especially at night—and that ambiance helped shape the feel of the story years later. I was in the military for a number of years and moved back and forth across the United States several times. That cross-country drive, and the shifting landscapes, provided an excellent backdrop for the hunt between the Marshal and the Rougarou.”
