SEPT. 16, 2025 (PORTLAND, OR) — Harbor City’s favorite immortal mummy detective is back, and this time, he’s in over his bandaged head. Now live on Kickstarter, RNM Press unleashes BIXBY GRANT, PRIVATE EYE: FANGS & BRIMSTONE #3, a pulpy plunge into danger, deceit, and the city’s supernatural underbelly!
This latest chapter by series creator and writer Patrick Coyle (Bixby Grant, Private Eye in Wolf, She Cried) features art by Gonzalo Martínez (Alex Nemo and the Brotherhood of the Nautilus), colors by Arthur Hesli (Thunderbolts, Mighty Morphin Power Rangers), and backup story art by Gonzalo Ruggieri (Rumble, Two Moons). It’s wrapped in covers by Craig Rousseau (Batman Beyond, Young Hellboy) and Daniel Caval (From Parts Unknown, The Unreality), edited by Heather Antos (Star Wars, Deadpool).
In addition, each issue delivers a full chapter of the main mystery plus an 8-page installment of Zombietown, a buddy-action detective story with a supernatural twist—gruff, world-weary Bixby as the straight man to Diego’s snarky, sharp-fanged comic relief. Expect occult politics, fast-talking suspects, and a deep dive into the emotional scars Bix has carried for a century.
A total of 30 full-color pages of supernatural sleuthing!

Bixby Grant, Private Eye: Fangs & Brimstone #3
The clock is ticking in Harbor City: If there is a fifth ritual killing committed by the sinister cult started by Bix’s brother Max, a hellmouth will open and bring about Hell on Earth. To find the dagger needed for this killing, Bixby Grant interrogated the famous cat burglar, Kat St. Claire. But his blood ran hot, and he may have cost Kat her life! With Diego the rockabilly vampire in tow, Bix is on the lam, shaking down mystics, and contacting the netherworld with the help of a nine-year-old witch. Things get a little too real for Bix as long-kept secrets about his personal life are revealed, and he and Diego are kidnapped…by the monstrous Council Macabre! |

Zombietown
To investigate her father’s last known whereabouts, Detective Maritza Ramirez has snuck into Zombietown: five square blocks of Harbor City inhabited by thousands of the undead! Now that she’s in, Maritza will snoop around the only place she thinks her father could have gone – the old headquarters of Il Cosa Muerte, the zombie mafia! Death shuffles and crawls around her as she tries to stealthily makes her way up into the rotting building that may hold the clues to her father’s disappearance. |
“I’m thrilled to throw Bixby and Diego into even deeper trouble in Fangs & Brimstone #3,” said Patrick Coyle. “This time, we peel back the bandages on Bix’s past, and what we find isn’t pretty. The stakes are higher, the danger’s sharper, and the supernatural politics are messier than ever. And yeah, I do know how they’ll get out of it, perk of being the writer. Working with Gonzalo Martínez, Arthur Hesli, Gonzalo Ruggieri, and Heather Antos is a blast; they bring grit, style, and just the right amount of weird to make Harbor City feel alive. Readers are in for one hell of a ride.”
“When you have a well-written script—full of sharp dialogue, memorable characters, action, monsters, and a classic car—it’s a pleasure to bring it to life,” added Gonzalo Martínez. “I’m grateful to be part of this project and to work alongside such an amazing team of comic book professionals.”
Editor, Heather Antos said, “It feels rare these days to find a comic that’s not only unafraid to be fun, but that also tackles the supernatural, family drama, and the messy beauty of friendship with such heart. Bixby Grant does all of this and more, and it does it with the kind of style and energy only this top-notch creative team could deliver. It’s the kind of comic that reminds you why you fell in love with comics in the first place.”
For horror fans who prefer smarts and style over splatter, Bixby Grant, Private Eye blends noir grit, supernatural intrigue, and pulp-inspired action in the vein of Hellboy (B.P.R.D.), Gotham Central, and The Walking Dead. The Zombietown backup plunges deeper into Harbor City’s decaying underworld, where undead crime families rule and danger lurks around every corner.
Patrick Coyle will be in attendance at this year’s New York City Comic Con, Thursday, October 9 – Friday, October 10, and is available for interviews.
