Later this month, Stephen R. Bissette (Saga of the Swamp Thing, Taboo, Aliens: Tribes, and much more!) and Lighthouse Comics will launch the Kickstarter for TYRANT, the never-before-collected dinosaur epic by the Eisner Hall of Fame legend: "Stephen’s four-issue brutal dinosaur masterpiece published between 1994 and 1996. Those issues were originally published under Bissette’s own Spiderbaby Graphix publishing operation and nominated for the 1995 Eisner for Best New Series."
The Kickstarter will present two versions of "the seminal series, about a Tyrannosaurus Rex’s struggle for survival in the late Cretaceous Period":
"These books will be comprehensively exhaustive, including all the backmatter from the TYRANT 1-4 issues, as well as letters and essays on paleontology and pop culture, and illustrations from Rick Veitch, Jim Rugg (who's also designing the book), paleontologist Dr. Michael Ryan and (of course) loads of art no one's seen and has never been collected."
We are thrilled to give Daily Dead readers an exclusive look at the cover and pages from "Stephen R. Bissette’s TYRANT: The Original Art Edition"
The Kickstarter is set to launch late February and you can visit the following link to be notified when it launches: https://www.kickstarter.com/
