“Like only The Pirates of the Caribbean before it, Kraken packs action, romance, high adventure, horror, and just straight up weirdness into every moment.” Phil Hester ""Imagine if H.P. Lovecraft and Robert E. Howard co-wrote a seafaring epic... and then handed it to a talking skull for edits."" Kevin Conran (Sky Captain: World of Tomorrow) ""Shannon Eric Denton spins an insane ripping yarn that will leave you wanting more Kraken in your life! The pages explode with an overload of monsters, nazis and pirates in the true David Hartman style! Brockmolla!” Rob Zombie (Devil’s Rejects, Halloween) “Like a mash-up of Lovecraft and Indiana Jones, Kraken is a two-fisted horror tale that will delight. Hartman and Denton have created an epic graphic novel which will be (hopefully) the first of many.” Don Coscarelli (Phantasm, Bubba Ho-tep, The Beastmaster) “Dastardly and long-extinct Golden Age villains are turning in their four-color newsprint graves as Denton and Hartman slouch, slither and shoot their way into the ranks of neo-monster comics madness with the horror-heroic debut of KRAKEN!” Dan Brereton (Nocturnals, Giantkiller) “Indiana Jones mashed with Cosmic Horror, Kraken is a delight! Denton and Hartman create a colorful, bloody, action adventure featuring your new favorite monster-hero!” Rob Schrab (Scud The Disposable Assassin) “A Helluva ride! Kraken takes an adventure pulp story vibe and mixes it up with Lovecraftian monsters and creates a wholly original story. Denton and Hartman pay it off with a great ending that makes me want to see these characters again!” Kevin VanHook (Bloodshot, Batman, Lobo) “A swashbuckling horror yarn that combines the spirit of the Mummy with the panache of Errol Flynn. I ripped through this tale, eager for every page, filled with imagination and quirky humor that made me desperate for more. What a joyous, fun, book!” Jeremy Adams (Flash Gordon, Aquaman)
