Blood and Dust:

Over a century ago, Judd Glenny, a Civil War veteran and victim, was possessed by a Native American legend during a spirit journey, and a man seeking redemption and working on repentance for his actions accepted his sin, becoming a blood drinking monster and ultimate bad man, terrorizing the Old West as most its dangerous and unrepentant predator.

But life catches up to everyone, even those who are dead, and Judd was no exception. Now the Old West’s most feared legend is a babysitter for his great grand kids hiding in a remote southern Oklahoma town called Boggy Depot. His only wish is for him and his family to be left alone. But then comes a knock on the door…

BLOOD & DUST is a five issue mini series written by Michael R. Martin & Adam Zeller, about one man’s fight to protect not only his family and their secret, but of a man who is protecting an entire town against an evil that is almost identical to the spirit that possesses him and his family living hidden away in the swamp surrounding the town.

Through the story we’ll reveal the complicated nature that is Judd Glenny and his family, revealing their past through a series flashbacks tied in with Judd’s own personal narration. We’ll explore the origins of Judd’s curse and how he unintentionally passed it on to his descendants and how due to his own sense of personal responsibility he now keeps and protects them from a world that would kill them and their own inner nature that would destroy the world.

By story end we’ll understand the nature of a different type of family and Judd will have made the first friend and man he trusts in years, and learns maybe all the years of protecting the town’s children might have earned him a small amount of forgiveness, even if just from himself.
