Artist and writer Matt Emmons, redefines what it means to be “righteous” in Mad Cave’s upcoming fantasy adventure!

Posted on by

Writer and artist Matt Emmons and Ukrainian letterer, Andriy Lukin, have teamed up for the new beautifully illustrated action/fantasy series, Crusader, from Mad Cave Studios! 

A Templar Knight finds himself transported to a dangerous realm known as the Beastlands. With sinister entities known as The Masters hunting him down, all he has is his sword and a weird, goblin-like creature named Grimbel to guide him through this strange new world.

Andriy Lukin was a winner in Mad Cave Studios’ Talent Search in 2022, and also specializes in creating logotypes, book design and cover art for comic books, music albums, and tabletop games. Matt Emmons’ Gardner debuted with over 1400 backers on Kickstarter in 2022. The creative team previously worked on the Dagger Dagger Anthology. 

Crusader #1 is expected in shops Sept. 6, and features Cover B by Michael Walsh.
