WITCH DOCTORÕS BRANDON SEIFERT AND LUCAS KETNER

AT SAN DIEGO COMIC-CON



WHO: Brandon Seifert and Lukas Ketner are the high-octane duo behind the brand new horror comic Witch Doctor, the first original on Robert Kirkman's Image Comics imprint, SKYBOUND. The first issue of Witch Doctor completely sold out, an amazing feat for the relative newcomers, and they're thrilled to meet the fans that bought them at Comic Con.



The pair of Alaskans are currently based in Oregon, the home base of their 'hero' Dr. Vincent Morrrow. In 2009, Lukas Ketner received a nomination for the Russ Manning Award, given to outstanding newcomers in the field of comic art. The Beat Magazine stated Ketner is Òa fast rising star in the world of illustration.Ó Seifert and Ketner have also worked on the Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe, and are collaborating on an issue of the Escape From Alcatraz educational comic book series published by the Golden Gate National Parks Conservancy, focusing on the notorious 1946 Battle of Alcatraz.



ÒBrandon SeifertÕs story is strong and confident, inviting readers to settle in for an appointment of world-building and character-defining. Seifert delivers the requisite comic book magic mumbo-jumbo and comic science fiction, but the accompanying art by Lukas Ketner makes it all seem new and bold... This is a straight-forward magical story that appears to be done in one, but leaves plenty of reason for the character, the creative team, and especially the reader to come back for moreÉÓ – Doug Zawisza, Comic Book Resources
