Skin Horse Volume 4
Full disclosure : I ’m writing the presentation to the latest volume of Jeffrey Wells and Shaenon Garrity ’s webcomicSkin Horse . But I ’m not being paid to do it ; I simply adore the comic . Skin Horse draws comparisons to the tenner - Files because it deals with social overhaul agents who side with the monster in society , but this volume include references to blaxploitation films , T.H. White ’s The Once and Future King , and all kinds of media madness . Plus , one of the arcs takes place at a transgenic convention that turns quickly into a comic book of account convening . What ’s not to like ?
For a $ 10 assurance , you ’ll receive a PDF of the book . For a $ 20 pledge , you ’ll have the PDF , plus a sign and sketched transcript of the print book .
