#outlaw's apprentice

Hey, friends! The first graphic novel in my new Appalachian-inspired swashbuckling fantasy series, Outlaw's Apprentice, is launching on kickstarter in just a little over a week. I'll be releasing the book in mass market paperback format, because what's better suited to fantasy adventure stories than a chunky book that you can cram into a jacket pocket?

If you're inclined, follow the Kickstarter here, and you'll get a notification when it launches.

Over the past few months in various online places like his website, on Facebook and through his Patreon, Chris Schweizer has started to share artwork for a new project — Outlaw’s Apprentice, a “high-adventure fantasy series in the spirit of some of my favorite types of stories: swashbucklers, episodic westerns.”

Hey there, friends!

I've been working on my new series, a swashbuckling fantasy adventure called OUTLAW'S APPRENTICE, for quite a while now, and I'm VERY excited to announce that it starts (serializing) today!

I'll be releasing a new installment each Wednesday on Webtoons and on my Patreon. I hope you'll give it a try!

New episode of OUTLAW'S APPRENTICE is up!

Smash Pages Q&A | Chris Schweizer on ‘Outlaw’s Apprentice’

Cartoonist Chris Schweizer has been serializing Outlaw’s Apprentice weekly on Webtoon and Patreon, and now he’s bringing the first collected arc to print. The 208-page Appalachian-inspired swashbuckling fantasy follows Otis, a teenage artist-in-training, and Erska, the former mercenary who took him on as an apprentice, as an injustice sends them both on the run.

Schweizer, who has earned three Eisner Award nominations for his previous work on books like the Crogan Adventures series, is publishing the book in mass market paperback format, which you cna back on Kickstarter.

You may know Chris Schweizer from his work on everything from 6 Sidekicks of Trigger Keaton to The Creeps series, and he’s back with a tale of swashbucklers and swords. Outlaw’s Apprentice debuted a few weeks back on Webtoon, and it’s as fun as it sounds:

Otis is a teenaged artist-in-training, but when he and the former mercenary to whom he is apprenticed find themselves on the wrong side of the law, they have to make their escape across the country with the law, bounty hunters, and old enemies dogging their heels.
