Daggers into Flesh NIGHT CRAWLER Vol. 1 (1st Printing lim. to 100)
Follow the story of Alex, a young ‘long hair’ who wastes away his mundane life of factotum listening to heavy metal records, playing guitar, and covering the odd shift at Undying Evil Records. The saga begins here...
Self released debut comic book by @daggersintoflesh in 2020. 33 pages in 7” format. Hand numbered and limited to 100 copies.
I had some expectations for the first volume of Night Crawler by @daggersintofleshwhen I saw early sketches of it. So I already knew a little about the idea and background, and even had a little influence on the 7“ format. But ugh, was I blown away once I finally got IT. I had not expected it to be that good! I thought: I need to spread this! This has so much potential. I want more. I need to tell the world. I need to open a comic shop. Wait, should I open a comic shop?...
Well, here I am, some weeks later, writing a few words about this little comic from out of nowhere that I believe every metal head with a heart for good story telling needs to possess. It’s nothing special really, but it has EVERYTHING. That is what I believe makes it so good. Everything is perfectly in it’s place. It doesn’t want to be special. It just is what it is: The best fictional portrait of the underground metal scene up to date.
