On Saturday, celebrated comic book creator and Compass Comics founder Graham Nolan launched a crowdfunding campaign for Ghosts of Matecumbe Key, a 64+ page horror graphic novel.

The project is already fully funded, having raised roughly $37 thousand at the time of this writing.

Written by and illustrated by Nolan (Detective Comics, Monster Island), Ghosts of Matecumbe Key is the third book in the “NolanVerse” (which includes The Chenoo and Alien Alamo), and is described as the lynchpin story that ties them all together.

Here’s the official pitch taken from the Ghosts of Matecumbe Key Indiegogo campaign page:
