Night Witches
Other original projects for Dynamite include the Howard Chaykin-illustrated crime comic "Red Team" and a metaseries of war comics called "Battlefields," made up of mini-series including "Night Witches", "Dear Billy", and "Tankies". In terms of commissioned material, Ennis wrote the pulp character "The Shadow" for Dynamite. In a surprise move, Ennis attempted to crowdfund a children's book through the Kickstarter platform. Unable to secure a children's book publisher due to its violent ending, "Erf" as the book became known, was ultimately published by Dynamite.
