Good Samaritan: Unto Dust #1

Story: Mike Luoma
Art: Federico Guillen
Color Art: Ken Lateer
Publisher: Earthbound Comics

Good Samaritan: Unto Dust is a two-issue miniseries that chronicles the story of Father Bill Sullivan. Sullivan is a Roman Catholic priest with a secret – he wields awesome energies that he believes are given him by God.

The “Power of the Holy Spirit” manifests around him as nebulous tentacles of purple and gold energy and smoke. It allows Good Samaritan – as he calls himself – to hover, grab criminals and restrain them, subject thugs to the experience of their own crimes in his “Confessional”, and occasionally render ultimate judgment by turning perps into dust as he proclaims, “Remember Man that thou art DUST and unto dust thou shall return!”

Originally published in somewhat different form by Glow-in-the-Dark Radio Comics in the fall of 2010, Good Samaritan: Unto Dust #1 has been vibrantly colored by Ken Lateer and slightly revised by Mike Luoma for this new edition from Earthbound Comics. Look for the all-new Good Samaritan: Unto Dust #2 coming soon!

Earthbound Comics Offers Free eBook

Posted on by

Independent Comic Book Publisher Earthbound Comics tries something a little different with our May release – we’re giving away a free eBook!

Readers can download and enjoy Souverain: The Kid by Mike Luoma at no charge. Originally featured in Souverain #1, this prose story is a great introduction to the character created by Ben Ferrari – meet the woman who works with the U.S. Army by day and strikes out at night on her own as the vigilante SOUVERAIN!

Ain’t It Cool News loved the book, calling the stories “hard-biting, hot button-pressing tales;” writing that it “successfully mixes real world issues with superheroism, while remaining respectful to the men and women fighting overseas and pointing a finger at atrocities performed around the world.” and calling it “…a fun book which empowers women while it entertains and inspires hope.” Now readers can sample some of that for free!

Instead of going head-to-head with Big Event comics, Earthbound Comics is going sideways. The Souverain eBook lets us reach out to the non-comic reading audience in a month where the comic reading audience is fixated on another company’s product.

We feel it’s important to try to grow the audience for comic books – we think we can, that’s one of the reasons Earthbound Comics publishes such a wide variety of genres in the first place. What better way to reach out to the eBook reading crowd?

The free Souverain: The Kid eBook approaches the greater reading public on their terms. If they enjoy the storytelling, we invite them to sample our comics.
