From the Pages of Captain Hawklin at War

All the stories featuring The Crucible Sons have now been turned in by the writers, and the editing, formatting, and production process is officially underway. Release date: TBA.

The Crucible Sons are a band of mercenaries who find themselves transformed into French Resistance fighters during World War II. They made their first appearance in Captain Hawklin at War, and now they are stepping into the spotlight for a series of their own.

Each story focuses on the core members of the group as they wage a brutal guerrilla war against the Nazi occupation, taking on missions that push them behind enemy lines and into some of the most dangerous corners of war-torn France. These are men who know how to fight, survive, and kill—but the Resistance will demand more from them than simply being soldiers for hire.

This first collection brings together a talented lineup of writers, each adding their own voice and perspective to the Crucible Sons universe:

Charles F. Millhouse
Brian K. Morris
Ron Clyburn
Nathanael Hummel
Glen Held

Expect gritty action, hard-boiled characters, desperate missions, and the kind of unapologetic wartime adventure that defines New Pulp.

The Crucible Sons are coming. Stay tuned for the official release date!

Cover Reveal: Stormgate

The New Pulp Event Begins this Summer...

In 2012, Captain Hawklin opened the door to a bold new era of New Pulp Adventure storytelling. 

Over the next decade, Hawklin creator and scribe Charles F. Millhouse crafted a sprawling universe packed with unforgettable heroes, rogues, and adventurers, including tramp steamer smuggler Zane Carrington, the mysterious masked Purple Mystique, daring fortune hunter Jack Saxxon, the beautiful yet formidable Juno Li, and many, many others. 

Now, for the very first time, Millhouse brings them all together in one explosive, world-shattering event. When an ancient prophecy reveals the existence of a hidden doorway to a realm beyond our own, the forces of evil will stop at nothing to unlock the Stormgate, desperate to uncover the secrets that lie beyond and exploit their terrifying power for themselves. 

It falls on Steven Hawklin and his band of adventurers to pursue them through the gate and into a world of torture, chaos, and wonders unlike anything ever imagined. Can these heroes survive the titanic beings beyond the Stormgate and stop them from conquering the one prize they truly desire—our world? 

Find out when you cross the Stormgate.
