This month’s sponsor: Green Archer Comics
Green Archer Comics is “Where Legends Live,” and this June they are bringing together two legends on Kickstarter! The Saint Meets the Tiger is the first Saint novel from Leslie Charteris, and it’s now in the public domain.
Simon Templar is the modern-day Robin Hood; his adventures have thrilled readers, radio listeners, television, and movie watchers (except in 1997) for decades. Green Archer Comics is incredibly honored to bring the first comic adaption of this comic to Kickstarter.
But, with a character as legendary as The Saint, they needed a legendary comic artist, which is why they reached out to Mike Grell for the cover. Now is your chance: Back The Saint on Kickstarter and relive the first Saint adventure. You can find the campaign at revivinglegends.com or just search for The Saint Meets the Tiger on Kickstarter.
