A Murder Of Scarecrows — Gary Reed

Think a Batman-style story set in the Americas 1760s. A Tale of Rebellion! From the dark mist of Raven Cove, the mysterious figure of the Scarecrow owns the night, terrorizing the British soldiers who reign with a tight fist on a small seaport village in the colonies. Set in the dramatic days before the American Revolution, a masked avenger seeks to maintain justice in the small town of Seaton. As the British seek to clamp down on the local smugglers, only the Scarecrow and his "freedom riders" can stand against the tyranny of the new commandant of the town...one who threatens to destroy the entire town in order to catch the Scarecrow. A Murder of Scarecrows is a graphic novel of high adventure. "With Murder of Scarecrows we get a pre-Revolutionary War tale of adventure along the lines of Robin Hood or Zorro." - Tim Hansen. "Reed has always been very unconventional. He doesn't go after the quick and easy story but rather he tells stories his way. They might not be best-sellers, but they are of a quality that outdoes most other writers."- Mania.com
