In today’s digital world there should be nothing stopping someone from toiling in creative isolation. Fabian Rangel JR knows this just as well as anyone. If you look to his career in comics, you’ll see that he’s a self made man. He’s proven that introducing a quality product is one of the easiest ways to fund a kickstarter with his incredible ‘Doc Unknown’ series.
Take the pulp appeal of something like Five Ghosts and blend it with the world of Batman: The Animated Series and you have Doc Unknown. Artist Ryan Cody has a cartoonish style that embodies the best of artists like Paul Dini and mashes it against the kinetic energy of Chris Mooneyham’s work. The result is art that not only elevates the tone of the book, but pushes it into something truly unique. It’s a fantastic genre bending adventure series that doesn’t let you catch your breath, everything about it is impressive, moreover, it’s a stellar tribute to a time gone by in comics.
This is the final volume of Doc. It collects Doc Unknown #9-12, into a third volume trade. Ed Brisson is doing the intro. There is a second printing of the Boss Snake one-shot, and the cover is drawn up by Max Fiumara (Abe Sapian) with colors by Dave Stewart. Not to mention there is an INCREDIBLE pin-up gallery will feature: Alexis Ziritt, Logan Faerber, Matt Smith, David Rubin, and Mike Mignola.
Seriously this is the ultimate kickstarter package in the world of comics. Rangel JR has pulled out all the stops to make this final volume something special, and as a comics reader we owe it to him to support self made comics.
Head to Kickstarter, to see what all the fuss is about.
