FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

 

THE BLACK HATCHET WILL BE UNLEASHED AT SAN FRANCISCO FANEXPO!

Before The Phantom, Superman and Batman – there was The Black Hatchet!

 

San Francisco, CA. November 22, 2025 – Brace yourself San Francisco, it’s not an earthquake! It’s “Once Upon A Time in San Francisco – The Black Hatchet.”

​ 

The FREE film prevision, interactive, animated eComics will be turned loose at SF Fanfest Comic-Con, Moscone Center West, Artist Alley, A415, November 28-30, 2025.

 

Think “John Wick” with a “Fist of Fury” melded with “Gladiator” running amok with two razor sharp hatchets in “Gangs of New York" except it’s the outlaw 1906 Barbary Coast.

​

A ghost vigilante rises from the shadows – twin blades parched for justice, vengeance in his veins, on safari in the vicious Barbary Coast to punish the sex traffickers that took his sister. In a race against time to rescue her, he carves a savage path – one Hatchet Man dissection at a time – leaving alleys awash in blood and body parts.

​

To enhance the comic reading experience, Augmented Reality (AR) allows us to project animations of the book’s art on phones and tablets.​

​

This exclusive AR application blends traditional storytelling with animations to create a multisensory, interactive experience, as animations explode from covers, panels, pages, posters, T-shirts, marketing materials and merchandise.

 

To play the animations, open the free Artivive Augmented Reality (AR) app, aim your lens at an eComic page with a hatchet logo in the corner and watch the art come to life.
