The Pale Duke : Salt & Decay is my first published graphic novel/comic and will be part one of an ongoing series. The main antagonist / protagonist, Anton Wülf, is a combination of a few different influences..I tried to juxtapose the complexities of men like H.P. Lovecraft, Anton LeVay and Hunter S. Thompson with some of my favorite fictional horror icons like Hannibal and Pinhead. The secondary main character, Eeve, is based on the God of the old Testament filtered through a female lens. Intelligent, sexy, vengeful and very self-aware. She was highly influenced by Selma Hyack's role in "Dusk Till Dawn" (Satanico Pandemonum) and Monica Bellucci from the French film "Brotherhood Of The Wolf" (Syliva the Witch). My biggest influences would be the bronze/copper age era of comic books and horror movies from the 1970's and 80's. One man's discontent comes full circle in a snowstorm of nihilistic violence when he is tasked as the architect of the Apocalypse.Holding the left hand of the Alpha Widow, leather wings spread darkness over the small New England town of Blackstone Valley. A beautifully dark character study from the perspective of Death.. *Suggested for mature readers.
