Here's a two-fisted webcomic for fans of Clark Gable and old action movies: Ace Kilroy, the story of a Gable-esque tough guy who is sent by his good friend, President Franklin Roosevelt, to investigate a Nazi plot to harness vampires and other supernatural creatures to further their cause. Ace is a smart guy, but in true B-movie fashion, he knows when to let his fists do the talking. And the strip is smart, too—that's Secretary of State Cordell Hull hovering in the middle panel, behind FDR. I bet he doesn't show up in too many comics these days.

The webcomic launched on Halloween (of course!), and it updates daily, with a big color comic on Sundays. The archives are a quick read, and there's also a nicely designed dossier on the characters that shows that creators Rob Kelly and Dan O'Connor have really put some thought into this comic and are in it for the long haul. Kelly and O'Connor are trying to raise enough money via Kickstarter to work exclusively on the comic for a while, as well as to start work on a print edition and do some publicity. The Kickstarter campaign runs through this Wednesday, so if you like what you see, don't dally! Awards include, in typical 1930s fashion, membership in Ace's Allies, which I can only hope includes a secret decoder ring.
