Black Salt Comic Book Returns with Kickstarter Pre-Launch Campaign to Fund Hardcover Graphic Novel

Award-winning franchise expands with Issues #5 & #6 and a collected hardcover edition

Ratti Entertainment, in partnership with Wise Acre Comics, is excited to announce the Kickstarter pre-launch campaign for Black Salt: The Last Heroes Left, a martial arts comic series that fuses espionage, action, and Afro-Asian storytelling. The campaign will fund the completion of Issues #5 and #6 and compile all six issues into a deluxe hardcover graphic novel.

The Black Salt franchise has already made waves across multiple mediums. What began as a comic series grew into an HBO-licensed 30-minute short film and later a video game demo that earned top industry honors, including the Spotlight Award at GDC and Best Action Game/Indie Playground at DreamHack Dallas.

“Black Salt has always been about representation, action, and storytelling with global appeal,” said creator and producer Owen Ratliff. “Our goal with this Kickstarter is to give fans the complete story in a premium hardcover edition.”

The campaign has already earned Kickstarter’s prestigious “Project We Love” badge and is building strong early momentum with over 376 pre-launch followers. The goal is to reach 500 followers before launch to ensure the campaign explodes out of the gate.

Fans can view the teaser trailer and click “Notify Me on Launch” on the Kickstarter pre-launch page to show support. This simple action helps increase visibility and signals demand for diverse, independent comics.
