Sky Masters of the Space Force – The Complete Sunday Strips in Color

A historic first publication by Kirby Museum Press and is the first official crowdfunding campaign for a Jack Kirby book.

The Sky Masters of the Space Force newspaper strip is one of the most fascinating and obscure works by comics legend Jack Kirby. The strip narrates, with a realistic approach, the adventures of Major Sky Masters during the early days of space exploration in the late 1950s, just as a new front opened in the Cold War between the U.S. and U.S.S.R.: a frenzied space race. Now fans and scholars can experience this lost piece of Kirby history as never before, with Sky Masters of the Space Force – The Complete Sunday Strips in Color.

Created and developed by Kirby with writer Dave Wood at the beginning of 1958 while Kirby was working for National (DC), the Sky Masters daily strip debuted on September 8 of that year. Five months later, on February 8, 1959, the color Sunday strips arrived featuring a totally independent storyline from the dailies.

Sky Masters features spectacular art from two of the comics industry’s leading lights of the era. Kirby and embellisher Wallace Wood were both at the peak of their careers, and brought the art of the strip to unprecedented levels. Compared to the Sky Masters dailies, the Sunday strips were the maximum expression of the team’s artistic prowess.

While the Sky Masters Sundays have seen print before, they’ve never been presented in their complete form or in color. Spanish designer Ferran Delgado, who compiled and produced the Eisner Award-nominated first edition of this book published in 2015, found all the best source material, including an extra 100 panels that were created to allow for the various formats of  Sunday newspaper sections. Some of these panels hadn’t been seen in any reprint editions. Delgado also featured the first re-printing of strip #52, which hadn’t been printed since its original publication in newspapers. Sky Masters of the Space Force – The Complete Sunday Strips in Color contains all 54 complete Sunday strips, including the extra panels, compiled in color, all painstakingly remastered in this deluxe volume

30TH ANNIVERSARY DISNEY GARGOYLES COLLECTIONS ARE HERE!

Long Out Of Print Gargoyles Comics Featuring Stories by Greg Weisman Are Collected Into New Remastered Graphic Novels!

In 1991 Greg Weisman and a team of animators at Walt Disney Television began developing a new show called GARGOYLES. It was inspired by Disney’s Adventures of the Gummi Bears and started as a comedy-based adventure series about multi-colored gargoyles that awoke in the late 20th Century to battle a comic book villain. Everyone was very enthusiastic about the series but it didn’t make the cut of new programming being approved. That didn’t stop the creators who went back to the drawing board and added wonderful layers to the concept including new characters to the story. After much back and forth the series was approved and two seasons of this incredible unique series was created.

Now over 30 years later we have the incredible honor of not only creating new comics with Greg, but we are thrilled to present this beautiful collectors’ edition Classic Gargoyle Omnibus collecting the 11-issue comic book run originally published by Marvel Comics in 1995.

Sacrimony #1-7: A Tale of Love, Life and Death – Make 100

A demon-winged teenage girl who mysteriously rose from the dead tries to navigate life in a big city that wants her dead yet again.

She has no memory of her past, and no idea why she now has demon wings that she needs to hide from society. Unfortunately, her mother, Yunika, is the only one with all the answers and she hasn’t been terribly helpful. Instead of giving her daughter straight answers and explaining that Khajad will be killed on sight if anyone sees her wings, Yunika lies and makes excuses in order to avoid the subject entirely.

Yunika is more focused on important things like fleeing the past as far as possible, trying to pretend like nothing weird happened and trying to have a normal life.

But c’mon, do you think their lives will ever be normal???

• Readers who are looking for a new, interesting take on the fantasy genre that break away from Tolkien-esque and medieval European molds.
• Readers who want queer character representation that doesn’t revolve around queerness being a character’s singular personality type.
• Readers who want a story with tons of worldbuilding, mythology, history and lore to get lost in (think expansive worlds like Game of Thrones, the Avatar Series or Elder Scrolls series).
• Readers who are into mythology (Greek/Roman, Egyptian, Norse, etc) where gods regularly interact with mortals and ruin everything.
• Readers who are looking for a unique, pretty art style depicting a unique, pretty world.

Inspired by the classic dinosaur movies and pulp action movies of the mid to late 20th century with a twist of something very new from our top creative team including Comics superstar John McCrea (Hitman, Deadpool) and 2000ad’s very own Eoin Coveney (The Alienist, Judge Dredd)

This fun, yet sometimes horrific, comic includes two action packed tales of dinosaurs encountering gunslingers of the american wild west of the 1800’s and the carnage that ensues following this prehistoric clash of genres.

By why? I hear you ask.

Well it all goes back to the first time I ever saw a movie at the tender age of 3.

I was sitting with my Dad on a 1970’s Saturday afternoon and the classic dinosaur movie The Valley of Gwangi came onto the TV.
