Muktuk Wolfsbreath, Hard Boiled Shaman

One of my favorite obscure comic book creations was a short-lived mashup of Siberian anthropology and noir, called "Muktuk Wolfsbreath, Hard Boiled Shaman". It was basically retellings of shamanic folklore, with a thin stylistic overlay of Hammett and Chandler.

I just found out that the creator revived the property a few years ago as a webcomic, that was then collected as a book (including reprints of some of the earlier stories from the 90s). I've read it, and it's still great. I encourage y'all to go out and buy copies so that he will be encouraged to do more stories!
