Hey everyone,

I'm Mark, and I run a small comics press out of Bloomington, Indiana called Plague Doctor Press. I wanted to introduce myself here because we've got a project that's Mothman through and through, an all-ages series called S.P.I.R.I.T., and the current arc, "Mothman Needs Us," is our love letter to the legend.

The covers are by Dark Horse artists, Melissa Capriglione and award -winning artist Nate Powell.

I've been fascinated by Mothman lore for a long time, and wanted to build a story that treats him less like a monster to defeat and more like... something stranger and sadder than that. A misunderstood harbinger, not a villain.

We've got a Kickstarter running right now if you want to check it out, no pressure at all, just wanted to share it with people who actually get why this kind of thing matters.

Happy to answer questions about the story, the art, or Point Pleasant lore if anyone's curious. Glad to be here.

Folks,

I am an independent writer, letterer, and publisher. On my latest book ( S.P.I.R.I.T. #4), I have been so lucky to work with Melissa Capriglione (Basil & Oregeno from Dark Horse) and Nate Powell (March, Fall Through). Just the best people to work with. Here are the covers they did for me.

If you want to take a look at what we did, search for S.P.I.R.I.T. #1-4 - Mothman Needs Us! on Kickstarter**.**

Finding people, building relationships, and paying artists is what it's all about.

Mark

Folks,

I'm Mark from Plague Doctor Press, and I make all-ages comics right here in Bloomington. I've got a Kickstarter live right now with Fort Wayne artist Melissa Capriglione, plus a variant cover from Bloomington's own award-winning artist Nate Powell.

And yeah, Mothman.

This is a Bloomington, Indiana, project through and through. If it's your kind of thing, I'd really appreciate it if you could take a look at the campaign.

Hoping I'm not stepping on any toes with the mods here, if self-promo like this isn't allowed, happy to take it down.

LYRICS:

There’s a thief at the door.
Always looking for more.
Once you get in the feed.

A touch of dopamine.
Steady beat of a drum.
Get used to the constant hum of the Lie.

Swipe and scroll.
Drop and roll.
Heads on fire.

Fingers are stuck.
The button is fucked.
They said it was easy.

Time for you to get out of my head.
Out of my head. Out of my head.
Keep looping it over again.
Over again, over again.

Time for you to get out of my head.
Out of my head. Out of my head.
Keep looping it over again.
Over again, over again.

Don’t know what you think.
Never say it to me.
Taking that as my destiny.
Watch my heart sink.
To the floor of the sea.
Taking that as my destiny.

Time for you to get out of my head.
Out of my head. Out of my head.
Keep looping it over again.
Over again, over again.
Time for you to get out of my head.
Out of my head. Out of my head.
Keep looping it over again.
Over again, over again.
