Editor James Aquilone said that he sees the fandom for Kolchak as “ stronger than ever,” and wanted to “ create something very special” for the half-centennial anniversary. Moonstone Books will also release a “ special 40-page standalone comic for the Kickstarter, featuring the story ‘Satanic Panic '88’,” written by Kolchak editor James Aquilone and illustrated by Worley, with a cover by noted horror artist Dan Brereton. The lineup of creators is impressive, as Moonstone is promising an all-star crew including Kim Newman, Peter David, Rodney Barnes, Paul McCaffrey, Colton Worley, and J.K. The campaign from Moonstone Books is looking to launch next year, but fans eager to support it can already follow the prelaunch page.

Spinning out into another television movie, then a brief but memorable television series in 1974, Kolchak’s adventures have continued in the form of novels, short stories, and a remake television series in 2005, with Moonstone Books publishing yet further tales in the life of the intrepid newsman.
Following a gruff, hot-blooded middle-aged reporter as he investigates a series of mysteriously vampire-esque murders of young women, Kolchak endeared himself to viewers with his no-nonsense attitude, conversational style, and heedless courage.
Bringing back the 20 th Century’s most manic supernatural investigator/monster hunter for another round of stories that never quite get enough factual backing,Ĭarl Kolchak, played by the irrepressible Darren McGavin, was introduced to American audiences in 1972 with the astoundingly popular television movie Kolchak: The Night Stalker. Hard-boiled reporter Carl Kolchak is having another series of bad days as the cult urban fantasy returns in Moonstone Books’ upcoming anthology Kolchak: The Night Stalker 50 th Anniversary Graphic Novel.
