Writer Kek-W
(2000 AD, Rudy Rucker’s FLURB) and artist Shaky Kane (THE
BULLETPROOF COFFIN) take the law into their own hands and bring readers a
complete, all-new, CAP’N DINOSAUR tale in this one-shot issue.
An homage to
the classic comics, CAP’N DINOSAUR pulls inspiration from
mail-order-advertisements found in comic series of the 1950s and
1960s. When a mysterious drowned man falls out of the clear blue sky, The
Cap’n and Honey Moon follow a trail which leads them to a deserted amusement
park, but what they find will take readers’ breath away.
“Half the
fun of old comic books were the mail order adverts,” said Kane. “So I figured
that if the mail order adverts were to somehow feature in the story itself,
well then you'd get the full fun!”
"Shaky
and I are trying to channel a free-wheeling old school spirit—harness the strangeness
that used to infect comics back in the late 50s and early 60s,” elaborated
Kek-W. “We want to inject some fun back into things. Reality is
overrated!"
CAP’N DINOSAUR (One-Shot) arrives in stores on 7/16, and
will be available for $3.99. It can be pre-ordered with Diamond Code MAY140606.
