First Print Run Kickstarter Exclusive
Whispers in the Dark
Issue #2 & #3
“Samantha “Sam” Miller and her son Matthew are moving to the small town of Thornewood; a small community surrounded by woods with one road leading out of town. When kids begin to disappear mysteriously in the town, the locals believe that there’s only one answer to who is behind it; the Whisperer. A dark entity whose legend goes back to long ago at the start of the town, the Whisperer was known to lure children away when there is great strife in between them and their parents. Sheriff Miller must use her wits to solve the case of these disappearances, trying to find out what is just folklore and what is the truth.
Sheriff Sam must act as more and more kids start to be taken. Is the legend of The Whisperer actually true? Soon she will find out, and will she have the ability to take him down if so?”

BIOGRAPHY
The OG collective
Original Geek is a comic publishing & audio network out of Arkansas. For the past three or so years, they have been doing the con circuit in Arkansas. Now that they have established themselves after successfully funding a total of 6 books on Kickstarter (at this time anyways) and selling a few thousand copies of their books, Original Geek is moving into expanding their reach to other states, aside from just their home of Arkansas.
The comics they have funded include four issues of “Vengeance,” “The 8th Day #1,” and “Whispers in the Dark #1.” They have developed a house style with these books that they also like to refer to them as “American Manga,” with how the stories and art flow. On the audio side, the featured podcast on the network is “If You Give A Dad A Podcast,” which has had guests like Cullen Bunn, Kevin Mellon, J Michael Tatum, Chris Khayman Lee, Jason Douglas, Josh Martin, Chris Anthony Lansdowne, Tami Erin and more. In 2025, OG will be moving into audio dramas with their first release of The Ripoffs and comic strips with “OG Elementary.”
In 2024 alone, OG were guests at PTX Con (Paris, TX), Metrotham Con (Chattanooga, TN), Saline County Comic Expo (Benton, AR), Nerds Assemble Con (Jonesboro, AR) and Hallows Con (McAleister, OK). They also have done book release/special events at Heroes and Wizards (Webb City, MO), Kapow Comics (Sherwood, AR), and Treat Yo Shelf (Mountain Home, AR).
