2000 AD

veteran writer Kek-W and The Bulletproof Coffin artist Shaky Kane will bring Cap'n Dinosaur to Image Comics in July. 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!" Nearly two years ago, Kane featured a pin-up of the character in the cover wrap of Nobodies Vol. 2. Below, you can find solicitation text, per Kek-W's blog: COMPLETE, ALL NEW CAP'N DINOSAUR TALE IN THIS ISSUE! When a mysterious drowned man falls out the clear blue sky, The Cap'n and Honey Moon follow a trail which leads them to a deserted Amusement park. Writer Kek-W ( 2000AD, Rudy Rucker's FLURB) and THE BULLETPROOF COFFIN's Shaky Kane, take the law into their own hands on this two-fisted tale of Murder, Muscle Marys and Mail-order Mystery. WARNING- Contains Pop Culture references and Impact wounds. CAP'N DINOSAUR (One-Shot) arrives in stores on July 16, and will be available for $3.99. It can be pre-ordered with Diamond Code MAY140606.
