Avatar Press

Avatar Press is a comic book publisher which has carved a niche for itself as a company that pushes the boundaries between mainstream and independent with titles such as Alan Moore's The Courtyard and Magic Words, Warren Ellis' Strange Killings and Scars, Garth Ennis and John McCrea's irreverent private eye cult classic Dicks, Joe R. Lansdale and Tim Truman's Dead Folks, David Quinn and Tim Vigil's 777: The Wrath, company owned characters such as Pandora and The Ravening, licensed hits such as Frank Miller's Robocop and Stargate SG1, and long-running anthology title Threshold, among numerous other titles -- including comics for mature readers, and other audiences. A company that has established itself as one of the cornerstones of the American indy comic book scene over the past six years, Avatar has published over 350 comic books since 1997.

You newcomers and everyone attending FCBD at your local comic shop have a strong voice on this day, so let your retailer know that you're there because you're interested in comics like Frank Miller's Robocop, Stargate SG-1, and independent material by Ellis, Ennis, Grant, Moore, and others.

Frank Miller's Robocop #2 cover by Juan Jose Ryp

We reveal more upcoming Frank Miller's Robocop art with this look at the wraparound cover of issue #2 by Juan Jose Ryp. Ryp's outdone himself with this one -- there's more mayhem per square inch on this cover than just about any piece we've ever seen. A must-see for Robocop, science fiction, and comic art fans of all kinds. Special shout out to our friends at Nimbus for a kick butt color job on an incredibly demanding piece.

This marks our first preview look at an April-shipping comic. In addition to Frank Miller's Robocop #2, you'll be getting more Shi, more Warren Ellis' Strange Killings: Strong Medicine, and a little something for Stargate fans too. More details about all of this in the coming days and weeks.
