Witch Hunter - John Gallagher Interview

    I.C.U. caught up with John Gallagher, writer of The Grim Reaper 1 & 2 to talk about his new project - Witch Hunter - Now funding on IndieGogo

You have successfully funded and delivered two campaigns already with The Grim Reaper 1 & 2. Now you are funding a new project - Witch Hunter. Can you fill us in on what exactly Witch Hunter is about?
    Witch hunter is gonna be an epic tale of monsters, battles and of course...witches! In the fictional town of Grimsby, there is a very good witch hunter who has all but eradicated the monsters and creatures of the night. However, one last witch proves to be very difficult to kill so he will reluctantly partner up with a good witch to bring this dangerous creature to justice.

​The comic has a definite manga art style. What was behind the decision to go with that style?
   There is no denying that manga is the future. My wife was a mangaka before she drew western comics. Manga is a style that lets us be more dynamic and focus a lot in a good narrative.
Can you tell us about the team behind Witch Hunter?
   I wrote the story, Xavier Gutierrez from Mexico did the interior art, My wife Carla did the colors and lettering, and Vinnie Tartamella did a variant cover for this project.

​The campaign offers the book with two covers and two endings. How will that work?
   The original ending will be found in the manga cover made by Carla, the variant cover by Vinnie will have an alternate ending to the story.

​The campaign also has a bonus story called Stan The Dragon. How did this story come about?
   This story was improvised with the help of our fans during a livestream on our YouTube channel: white cat comics!

​With Witch Hunter being White Cat Comics third campaign, you guys are on a roll. What does the future hold for White Cat Comics?
   We are thinking of at least three more crowdfunded projects for this upcoming year, and hopefully make our stories more interactive with our digital versions, the two covers two endings was a step in that direction!
