Creatures on the writer Matt Bors (Justice Warriors, The Nib) and artist Daniel Irizarri take us to Puerto Rico to discover the frightful Chupacabra! Then, Mattie Lubchansky (Boys Weekend) and Maki Naro take us in search of the perfect cryptid influencer.
Matt Bors is a cartoonist, writer, editor, and the founder of The Nib. He was a Pulitzer Prize Finalist for his political cartoons in 2012 and 2020 and is the co-writer of the dystopian satire Justice Warriors with Ben Clarkson.
His cartoons have appeared in The Nation, The Guardian, CNN, The Intercept, and were collected in the book We Should Improve Society Somewhat. He also drew the graphic novel War Is Boring written by David Axe.
I've been diving into the Project Cryptid series from the beginning, and as a fan of local legends and monsters, it's been quite the journey. While not every story has hit the mark for me, the sixth issue featuring the Chupacabra was an absolute delight. From the intricate drawings to the well-developed characters and captivating storyline, it had me hooked from start to finish. I'm eagerly anticipating more stories of this caliber in future issues.
