Hector Plasm Volume 1: Born Into Night Battles (Paperback or Softback)

First seen in INVINCIBLE over 15 years ago, Hector Plasm returns! In a world where the dead tell stories, Hector Plasm roams the earth as exorcist, con man, and shaman, confronting the supernatural at every turn.

Even ghosts tell stories...and the name whispered in hushed tones over the dying embers of campfires past is that of the drifter, the con man, the shaman, the witch doctor, the exorcist... HECTOR PLASM.

Join Hector, a modern-day member of an ancient cult whose duties dictate that he roam the earth to protect the living from the dead (and occasionally vice versa), as he battles ghosts, witches, demons, and even his most physical foe so far -- BIGFOOT!

Bestselling writer Benito Cereno (Blood & Thunder, Invincible Presents: Atom Eve & Rex Splode) and critically acclaimed artists Nate Bellegarde (Nowhere Men) and Derek Hunter (Pretty Violent, DuckTales, Adventure Time) invite you into a sprawling world of paranormal investigation and hauntings both big and small.

Collects HECTOR PLASM: DE MORTUIS one-shot, HECTOR PLASM: TOTENTANZ one-shot, HECTOR PLASM: HUNT THE BIGFOOT #1-3

Benito Cereno is a writer and podcaster whose work includes Tales from the Bully Pulpit with Graeme MacDonald and Hector Plasm with Nate Bellegarde, both for Image Comics. He also wrote Invincible Presents Atom Eve and Rex Splode and, in collaboration with Robert Kirkman, the first Guarding the Globe series. He was the primary writer for The Tick from New England Comics, featuring art by Les McClaine. He has also written stories for Dark Horse Comics, Dynamite Comics, and others.

As a podcaster, he is the co-host with Chris Sims of Apocrypals, a thorough look at the Bible and related writings through a historical and literary lens, but also it’s a comedy podcast, so funnier than that sounds. He also co-hosts Friends Till the End with Matt D. Wilson and Erica Henderson, a podcast nominally about the Chucky franchise, but also covering horror media more broadly.

He lives in Kentucky with his wife and two cats. He has no children but has long been refining his avuncular vibe.

Nate Bellegarde is the artist on Nowhere Men.
