Golem of Venice Beach 2

The legend of The Golem of Venice Beach that began 400 years ago in Europe comes to a fateful conclusion in present day sunny California. Writer Chanan Beizer and artist Vanessa Cardinali (Slumber) deliver an action-packed 184-page sequel with a legendary cast of artists joining them:
 
A wrap-around cover by superstar Frank Quitely (All-Star Superman).
 
Eisner winner Jae Lee (Stephen King's The Dark Tower) returns to complete the story of the Golem’s resurrection during World War Two.
 
David Mack (Echo) creates a unique six-page vision quest sequence of existential exploration.
 
Famed Spanish painter Das Pastoras (Ax-Wielder Jon) crafts a striking homage to an iconic Sal Buscema pin up from 1973’s groundbreaking Avengers/Defenders War. And a nine-page bonus story inspired by the classic What If…? comic book series with art by Dean Haspiel (Covid Cop), Juan José Ryp (Wolverine), Nick Dragotta (Absolute Batman), and Hall-of-Famers Howard Chaykin (American Flagg!) & Stan Sakai (Usagi Yojimbo).
 

Chanan Beizer has had a varied career including computer programmer, filmmaker, director for network sports productions, and graphic novel writer/creator. His script for The Golem of Venice Beach was the winner of the very first ScreenCraft Cinematic Book contest for graphic novels in 2018 and the published Book 1 was named best graphic novel in 2023 by Rue Morgue Magazine.

Returning as the main artist, Vanessa Cardinalli (Destiny, NY), continues in her vibrant style to expand on the world of The Golem of Venice Beach. From start to finish, from Book 1 to Book 2, Vanessa has performed a herculean task, with over 260 total pages of art. Herculean indeed! 



Renowned Scottish illustrator, Frank Quitely (New X-Men, We3, Batman and Robin) showcases the Golem in present day Venice Beach in a thrilling wrap-around cover that is suitable for framing (IMHO).



Jae Lee (Seven Sons, Batman/Superman) and colorist June Chung provide a four-page flashback sequence that completes the emotional depiction of the Golem’s resurrection during World War Two that began in Book 1.



David Mack (Daredevil, New Avengers), co-creator of Marvel Comics character Echo, creates a unique six-page vision quest sequence of existential exploration.
