William Hodge and Wyldcard Studio have started a campaign on Kickstarter to find financial backers for Convention Exclusive Variants of “The Uncanny”. Hodge wants to start attending and selling at conventions and he wants to raise money to print up special convention only covers of all of the issues of The Uncanny. To this date Hodge has published 7 issues of the story, a book collecting issues 1-3, a book collecting issues 4-6, and a Trade Paperback collecting the entire story.
Who are The Uncanny?
The Zen Brawler. The Voodoo Wildchild. The Faceless Mystery Man. The New Age Oracle. The Master of the Steel Skin Technique. The Psycho Soul. And the Gnostic Spirit. They are “The Uncanny”.
The Uncanny, is a mystery school of revolutionaries fighting against conformity and spiritual oppression.
This is a modern day super hero comic book. It’s a little bit Matrix, a little bit Doom Patrol and a heaping of everything fantastic thrown in.

About the Creator
William Hodge has been a comic book fan for 40 years. In the “extreme 90s” he did some professional work. He penciled a story in DC Comics Showcase ’94. He did art chores on Dr. Weird for Gary Carlson and Big Bang Comics. After having flirtations with other companies that didn’t turn into work, he decided to go into creator owned work and published one issue of a sci-fi comic called NanoSoup thru Millennium Publishing. Over the past decade, the need to work consistently and pay bills took priority and comic books had to take a back seat.
But how can you ever forget your first love?
Over the past year with a tough economy, William has been working erratically as a freelance web developer and this has given him the time to work on “The Uncanny”. His issues have been self-published and out for sale, others are completed and currently working on the next arc. It’s finally time to start living the childhood dream.
