Ever been interested in a webcomic on World War 2? Wish there were more artists willing to deal with historical events? How about if said webcomic featured a little known area of history?
Well look no further, because Rudek and the Bear exists! Set in 1929 along the Polish-Belorussian border, Rudek and the Bear tells the tale of a company of Polish Border Guards and Belorussian smugglers. It is a prequel to a future graphic novel, Zuzel and the Fox, which will be set in Danzig at the start of the war in 1939. Originally supposed to simply tell how characters Rudek and Malutki meet, Rudek and the Bear morphed into a serious undertaking, and is now on kickstarter for actual publication in physical form.
So, before I post the link, this is one of my favourite web comics. The humour is amazing, the artist is fantastic, and the pure fact that he is doing it all based around 1929 Poland is wonderful. The project IS already funded, however he is setting up push goals, and hey, why WOULDN'T you want to throw money at this awesome project!
