I announced an upcoming Breckinridge Elkins webcomic here at The Cimmerian last December. Australian artist Gary Chaloner posted today on The Official Robert E. Howard Forum that his new website dedicated to his comic adaptation of Howard’s Gent from Bear Creek is now fully operational:

Just letting everyone here know that the brand-spanking new webcomic and website has launched over at www.BreckinridgeElkins.com ! Pages will update weekly initially, but if the feedback is good, we hope to increase the frequency. More articles and extras will be added as the weeks roll by as well.

So please pop on over and give the online adventures of Breck Elkins a go!

Heading this blog entry, you can see the first page of his take on “The Mountain Main,” REH’s tale first published in the Mar.-Apr. 1934 Issue of Action Stories. Below is a preview of the second page.

As Chaloner put it himself  ”His romping tales are perfect for comic books.” Indeed, there is little doubt that ‘cartoonish’ characters like Sailor Steve Costigan and Breckinridge are splendidly fitted to such a medium. A lot of fans principally focused on Robert E. Howard’s Sword-and-Sorcery stories might discover another — lighter– facet of the Texan’s multiple talents thanks to this adaptation of his humorous Breckinridge Elkins western tales.
