Rob Kelly over at the Aquaman Shrine and Dan O'Connor have a great web comic called "Ace Kilroy", about a soldier called on by FDR to fight a terrible menace...the Nazis are dabbling in the occult, vamprism, and...Dracula! The "first mission" of the web comic was also collected into a great print version via a Kickstarter pitch. I came late to that particular party but in an incredible sequence of events*, still managed to get my hands on a copy...signed by Rob himself! It was a page turning blast!
Well, the "second mission" is now heading to print, Ace versus Frankenstein AND the Wolfman!
And guess what? There's a new Kickstarter project to support it! This time I got into the party early enough to get some of the cool bonuses too! (A custom Mego-style figure is one of them! How sweet is that?)**
So, if you like war comics, monster comics, action, adventure...or if you just want to support a friend of Kord Industries...check it out! You'll be glad you did!
*(Ok, not so incredible...I ran into Rob at the Baltimore Comic-Con after sending him pics of my Aquaman collection to post on his blog...but still, I got me a copy!)
**(memo to self...look into making custom Mego-style Blue Beetles)
Looks like fun, I hope they don't keep doubling up on monsters or they'll soon run out of classics to use. Wish I had money for this--the samples here are of higher quality than 95% of what I see on the shelves at comic book stores.
ReplyDeleteIt is fun Matt! And I understand the money issue, it's a tough time for a lot of people...but you can always check out the strip online at www.acekilroy.com just click on the "archive" button and read away!
