The ‘Black Hammer’ books were created with artist Dean Ormston at Dark Horse Comics, and the publisher will continue “to print variant covers” available only through his newsletter’s store page. He said, “I’m collaborating with a number of exciting creators to create some new ‘Black Hammer’ short stories that I’ll publish here over the next year.” These will also include a “full-length” Colonel Weird comic, co-written by “Barbalien: Red Planet” and “House of Slaughter” veteran Tate Brombal, and fully painted by fellow writer/artist Ray Fawkes (“Black Hammer ’45”). He will be “posting approximately 5 pages a week (depending on natural stop points in the story),” and digital copies of each “complete chapter of the book” once they’ve concluded.Īs well as “Fishflies,” Lemire will be sharing new ‘Black Hammer’ comics in the newsletter from 2022. Few details were given on the plot of the comic, which is titled “Fishflies,” but Lemire expects that when finished, the serialized comic will be a total of over 500 pages long. “Sweet Tooth” creator Jeff Lemire has announced he is launching a paid Substack newsletter with an exclusive comic next week.
