Big Rig

First appearance of the Post Malone co-written comic book. Intro comic at Free Comic Book Day.

THEY PRAYED FOR A MIRACLE. THEY GOT 25 TONS AND 18 WHEELS OF HOLY WEAPON.

 

BIG RIG, created by Post Malone.

 

The Dark Ages…Demon hordes plague Europe as Hell invades Earth. The Six Petals, a secret sect of The Knights Templar, are in desperate need of a means to drive back the scourge and turn the tide of the onslaught. What crashes to earth is The Rig, a fully loaded tractor trailer. In the aftermath of its arrival, the only man left standing is an enigmatic former priest excommunicated from The Six Petals. He will become Trucker and lead the fight against Hell behind the wheel of a demon-slaying machine.

 

Written by Post Malone and Adrian Wassel. Drawn by Barbaric co-creator and Dark Knights of Steel artist Nathan Gooden.

A Gentle Rain

We got in a Gentle Rain this week. It is a $20 cooperative tile laying game in which players lay tiles linking flowers in order to create a spot for one of the flowers to bloom on the lake. The object to to cause all 8 flowers to bloom. Good for 1+ players and takes about 15 to 30 minutes to play.
 

Hack!

Hack! is a card game based on the long running Knights of the Dinner Table  comic, which we also carry. Players play cards from the deck to explore the Tomb of Vectra and either find the Hand of Vectra or exit before the other players do. Published back in 2001 and for sale either here or in our eBay store.
 

Klondike Big Inch Title

 We picked up these titles as part of a collection awhile back. The Klondike Big Inch Land Company deed gave the possessor "ownership" of one square inch of Klondike land. This was a promotion by Quaker Oats tied into its sponsorship of "Sargent Preston of the Yukon" in 1955. Anyone who sent in a box top from a Quaker Oats product would receive one of the above deeds. Unfortunately, the State Department determined that Quaker Oaks was engaging in the sale of foreign land without registering as an agent to do so. To avoid the registration process, the company started enclosing the deeds in packages of their products.

Since Quaker never registered the deeds, the recipients never took legal ownership of the inch of land and, when Quaker failed to keep up with property taxes on the land in the 1960s, the Canadian government repossessed the property in 1965 and the Big Inch Land Company dissolved in 1966. The land is now part of a Dawson City golf course. If you want to buy one of the ones we have in stock, here is the listing on eBay
