What was once a hypothetical conversation amongst monster fans (that generally took place within dark, smoke-filled rooms full of snacks) has come to life in the new comic book series, Bigfoot Knows Karate, from Dan Price (creator, co-writer, illustrator), and Casey Allen (co-writer, editor), featuring back matter artwork by Luis Thomas and Adam Caswell. Let the battle of the mythical beasts begin!
Aside from knowing the art of karate, Bigfoot wanders the wilderness like Caine from the classic TV series, Kung Fu, while trying to find balance in his solitary life. Whether it’s by interfering with nature to save a cute animal or laying the hairy smackdown on a pair of hunters who picked the worst possible time to be a terrible aim with their rifles. This badass forest yeti works hard to keep his mind and domain clear of distractions.

However, this comes to an earth-shaking halt when Bigfoot is attacked by a hideously familiar face to horror hounds, but whose name cannot be properly pronounced with mere human vocal cords. That’s when the samurai Sasquatch finds out that he’s not as alone out in the wild as he originally thought.
Bigfoot Knows Karate has been described as “Godzilla vs King Kong meets Kill Bill,” but I would like to personally add that it also has the grim overtone of Primal from Adult Swim, and the humor of an R-rated One Punch Man.
It opens with a meditative narration that the character contradicts with his actions, and he does so with bloody enthusiasm. Anyone who enjoys monster mash stories will dig this new take.
Will Bigfoot triumph over the eldritch horror and send his tentacled ass back to R’lyeh?!? Find out by going to the Homebrewed Comics website and catch a digital sighting of Bigfoot Knows Karate #1 today!
