16 panels showing various snippets of a massive brawl between Griff, his sidekick Justine and their acquaintance, Rich as they fight with some cultists from the evil Children of the Waves Doomsday Cult.

As we enter the final 5.5 days of the Griff Gristle kickstarter, I wanted to share some of my favourite pages from the oceanic bound adventures of our titular hero! @rorydraws4.bsky.social art & colors define the world of Griff & add so much character

A series of panels of Griff trying to swim after a ghostly figure as a red mist rushes up from the ocean depths and engulfs him.

Griff emerges in Purgatory, in the River Styx and is looked upon in a strange manner by Charon, the boatman of souls.

I’ve already requested a copy! 😬👍🏻🍻

Griff Gristle, the grizzled old seafarer finds himself being dragged into a hellish pit in the depths of the ocean by skeletons of the drowned and to make matters worse, he's lost his diving helmet!

Here's a cover I had the honour of doing for the first collected volume of Griff Gristle for @robjoneswrites.bsky.social and @rorydraws4.bsky.social ! You can jump on the Kickstarter campaign here:
www.kickstarter.com/projects/169...

A man clad in a diving suit stands, arm raised to the sky as another man is ritually sacrificed against an ancient cairn underwater. The text 200% FUNDED and GRIFF GRISTLE: THE BOATMAN'S CALL FUNDING NOW ON KICKSTARTER can be seen.

Griff Gristle is now 200% funded! That's over £5000/$6775!!

Thank you so much from myself, @rapiaghi.bsky.social and @rorydraws4.bsky.social! We have such seafaring supernatural sights to show you... On to the next batch stretch-goals I guess!

www.kickstarter.com/projects/169...

Griff stands on the deck of his boat, the Betty as a vortex of tormented souls swirls up from the ocean

Griff is diving down into the depths chasing after a spirit over a series of panels, but a red mystic cloud races up from the shadows and envelops him.

A man is being ritually sacrificed whilst chained to a rock deep underwater.

Griff stands small and insignificant in his diving suit in the bottom left of the image as a huge ruined underwater temple gives off megalophobic vibes before him.

For newcomers to the world of Griff Gristle, here's some of @rorydraws4.bsky.social art! Griff is the last line of defence against the dark monsters of the deep. A supernatural sea faring adventure of tragedy, heroics & aquatic adventures await! #Comics

From @rapiaghi.bsky.social, @rorydraws4.bsky.social and I, thank you to everyone who's backed or shared the campaign so far. We're sat just shy of £4.8k or $6.5k, which is just phenomenal. At £5k we'll announce the next stretchgoal.

LOVE @normkonyu.bsky.social !!

Griff Gristle has had his diving helmet removed by spectral skeletons bursting out under the ground beneath his feet. He is fighting them off of him with Gungir, his spear, as he is frantically trying to hold his breath.
