Award-winning Scottish comic book author (and long-time friend of the Big Comic Page) Gary Chudleigh has just announced details of his latest project. EVERY LAST ONE #1, the first issue of a four-part Glasgow-based mini-series about the hunt for a supernatural serial killer is funding on Kickstarter from Tuesday the 2nd of April, and we have all the information about why you should definitely consider checking this one out.

The series, which features by Dani Coloma, lettering by Rob Jones, is designed by Kirsty Hunter and edited by Jack Lothian with Buğra Batuhan Berah providing the cover art.

Here’s the official synopsis:

People are being slain across the globe. People who share a dark secret.

Inspector Ronnie Lang is on the case when a victim is discovered in the west of Glasgow, Scotland. Ronnie’s a street thug turned officer of the law. And way out of his depth.

Facing mounting pressure from judgmental colleagues, Ronnie finds a partner in Kay Anderson. She’s a troubled young orphan with special abilities of her own. Kay can read people’s minds and control their actions. But as aimless binge drinking pulls her down a bad path, it’s clear the only actions she can’t control are her own.

Ronnie, his mentor Deborah, and Kay set off on a dangerous journey to stop the killer before he slays every last one of his targets.

Speaking about the announcement, Chudleigh said “This is a dream project of mine. I love crime procedurals and supernatural horror and wanted to smash them together. It’s a dark story with a rich cast and has trademark Scottish humour throughout. Think Stephen King meets Irvine Welsh.”

He continued, adding “I’m hoping the series can become Scotland’s version of the ‘X-Files’, but that will only be possible with the support of backers. This is the chance to be right at the start of something special. I want people to look back in a few years and be proud they supported this project at its humble beginnings.”

The Kickstarter boasts rewards to suit all budgets, from digital and print copies to a VIP tier in which backers can get themselves drawn into the comic. Oh, and if that’s not enough, Chudleigh has something extra special planned for one of the tiers, with the opportunity to get your hands on a unique A5 sketch card drawn by the legendary Frank Quitely himself!

The Kickstarter (CLICK HERE), goes live on Tuesday the 2nd of April, and in the meantime you can feast your eyes on six pages of interior artwork.
