27 Productions has once again teamed with Redbud Studio comics to
release the second in their on-going pulp comics anthology. The first
giant issue in this series won the coveted Pulp Ark Award for Best Pulp
Comic of 2010.
Volume two of the series, co-edited by
creators Ron Fortier and Rob Davis, is even bigger than that stellar
premier issue. Contained here are eight stories featuring both modern
and classic pulp heroes; Ki-Gor the Jungle Lord, the Black Bat, Cain,
Robin Hood, Lance Star, Brothers Bones, Dillon and Domino Lady.
The
cover is by Will Meugniot and features Ki-Gor's lovely mate, Helene,
battling back to back with Derrick Ferguson's modern day adventurer,
Dillon. Other creators represented are Russ Anderson, Fortier, Davis,
Ian Watson, Thomas Deja, Michelle Sciuto, Sean Taylor, Aaron Meade, Todd
Jones, Lee Oaks, James Gaubatz, Van Plexico, Andrew Salmon and Kelly
Everaert.
The book is available from Indy Planet.com
and part of the proceeds are being donated to the Boston Red Cross. "We
were the last stages of assembling the book," explains Editor Foriter,
"when the Patriots' Day bombings occurred in Boston. All of us, like the
rest of the country, were in shock and felt helpless to do anything."
It was writer Van Plexico who contacted Fortier about possibly offering
some of the sales proceeds to help those injured in the terror attack.
"The second Van brought up, I knew it was something we had to do,"
Fortier continues. He contacted Davis and all the creators and the
decision was made to take all the profits earned by the book during its
first six months in print and donate them to the Boston Red Cross.
"We
truly hope our fans, when they learn of this idea, will want to rally
around a truly good cause and help us put sales over the top," adds
co-editor Rob Davis. "We really want this to be the best selling title
Redbud Studio has ever produced."
The issue is now on sale at http://www.indyplanet.com/store/product_info.php?products_id=8450
