Avatar Press

One of the most highly-regarded creators on the indy comics horror scene, writer/artist Mike Wolfer entered the field in 1987 with his giant-monster saga Daikazu, under his own Ground Zero Comics banner.

Wolfer launched his best-known creation Widow around 1991 and the adventures of the genetically altered woman-spider have showcased his trademark character-driven blend of drama, horror, science fiction, and erotica ever since. Wolfer has also done work for Chaos!, London Night, and Dark Horse.

At Avatar Press, Wolfer has done a number of Widow mini series plus the 14-issue Widow X which collects and expands the entire pre-Avatar Widow saga. His erotic horror character Rag Doll has run in the pages of Avatar's adult anthology Raw Media, and he has also worked on indy goth-girl staple Razor at Avatar, both in collaboration with David Quinn (Faust) and in his own written and drawn serial in Avatar's Threshold anthology.

Landmark Warren Ellis creations Strange Kiss and Stranger Kisses were both drawn by Wolfer, and the pair are working together again on the Strange Killings saga.

Gallery: Warren Ellis' Strange Killings: Strong Medicine by Mike Wolfer

Check out this cover to another of our big releases for July 2003 -- Warren Ellis' Strange Killings: Strong Medicine #2, drawn by Mike Wolfer and colored by Nimbus Studios. The ongoing saga of Combat Magician William Gravel has continued to carve out new territory on the indy comics scene with its combustive mixture of suspense, horror, drama, and percusive beats of action since Gravel's story debuted with Strange Killings #1 in November 1999.

There's some good commentary on the Strange Killings saga here on the site, not to mention background on creators Ellis and Wolfer -- and you can catch up on much of the earlier parts of the story in trade paperback form (isbn, diamond codes, and other info here). Warren Ellis' Strange Killings: Strong Medicine debuts in June and issue #1 should still be available for preorder from fine comics retailers near you.
