Witch Creek Road Season 1 Yearbook Edition

A survival horror about love, acceptance, death and revenge. And sexy flesh-eating demons. Yeah, it has those, too.

WHY A YEARBOOK EDITION?

To me, it fit the theme. This is a story about high school seniors. Also, there was already a yearbook motif present within the original Witch Creek Road comics, in the form of the "In Memory Of" pages - and so I figured, Why not take this one step further? Why not design this edition with the aesthetic of a yearbook in mind?

Plus, I just find yearbooks fascinating. 

The goal, of course, was to eventually see this story published by a publisher, distributed by Diamond Distribution, and available in comic shops. But whatever version that ended up being wouldn't be this version. Because a publisher isn't going to say, "Oh, sure, let's pay to add a bunch of unnecessary pages simply to perpetuate the yearbook aesthetic. Yeah, let's make the cover the school logo, instead of anything recognizable from the comic. Oh, and let's make it hardcover. That's super cost effective!"

So, no: I took advantage of my creative freedoms and put together the version of the book I want. Something I consider to be the "ultimate" version of Witch Creek Road Season 1. Because it's everything I ever wanted to see in a collected edition.
