I’m back and so is the comic!

Thank you for patiently waiting for Ghost of the Gulag to return. I never wanted to stop creating pages but ultimately my role as a director at Disney Animation on Moana 2 demanded too much time and effort. I hope you all saw and enjoyed the film it was almost 4 years of work. But in the dark recesses of my brain I kept mulling over the story of Gulag and how I would finish Volume 3. This violent and dramatic story has always been an odd form of therapy. I see myself as both the wolf and the tiger. It’s a project I’ve made for myself and not for any studio. Every ink line, dialogue line and brush stroke are done solely by me.

To reset my brain and return creatively to the Taiga I went to one of my favorite places in the world to watch wild wolves: Yellowstone National Park.

This will be the final Volume and I have it mapped out and mostly written. It will be action packed, gory, emotional and hopefully cathartic. I will try and deliver one to two pages a week dropping on Mondays.

This is a passion project but you can support the work by spreading the word or purchasing the print versions of Vol.1 and Vol.2 on my Etsy store. https://davidderrickjr.etsy.com
