This is from about 10 years ago or so. There’s a Portuguese artist that goes by HvH, at least he used to. You can google HvH erotic comics and some of his work will come up, but all the results are from 10 years or more ago. I had been in touch with him because I got him to do some artwork for the 2013 Bent Con, we used his artwork for the cover of the convention guide. He asked me after that if I would be interested in working on a story with him, part of an anthology series that he wanted to write each entry in, but have different artists draw each entry. It wouldn’t be apparent at first, but each of the stories would tie together. I chose this one that was horror comic themed, set in a swamp. The lead character was a young reporter and I fought to keep the fedora, I felt it gave him style as he saw it as something an older generation of newsie would wear.
I enjoyed drawing this, but from what I heard from HvH, no one else followed through with their parts and he didn’t put effort into keeping the project afloat. I lost track of him, and haven’t heard his name in the time since. I don’t know what happened to him and the internet isn’t any help. If I ever knew his real name I don’t remember what it was. I hope he’s well and just doesn’t go by HvH anymore.
