Indie Comics #1: The Adventure Begins in FULL COLOR!

Now full color, Indie Comics is being offered through Caliber Entertainment on Comixology, through an agreement with Aazurn Publishing. Indie Comics #1 was released Wednesday at https://www.comixology.com/Indie-Comics/comics-series/84916

“We're really excited to offer all 53 Indie Comics pages in full color. Many of the artists colored the stories here originally and we converted to black ink for the Diamond run,” said Aazurn Publishing’s Gary Scott Beatty.

“I’m so proud Publisher Gary Reed saw the value in our Indie Comics pub before his passing. It means a lot to me. His approval is one of the biggest compliments I’ve ever received.”

The adventure begins when Rick Bonn asks “Why Did the Caveman Cross the Sea?” Bonn (Bonnfire Media) and artist Christopher Herndon follow a Bigfoot/Tarzan hybrid in a world of dinosaurs.

Brad Olrich’s mercenaries attempt a raid on Rectory VII, “At Galaxy’s Core.” Olrich’s (Commodore Dinosaur) thieves go to work retrieving a donation from The Church of Eternal Recurrence in this Dark Ages inspired sci fi.

Terry Cronin plunges three college students on spring break into an underground world of bloodsucking women. In “The Flame of Faith,” Cronin (Students of the Unusual) and artist Ghostfire tell a new kind of vampire story with a mysterious tattoo, freak tumors and spring break in Florida!

Hans Christian Andersen meets H.P. Lovecraft when Gary Scott Beatty follows “The Maketch Girl” and elder gods into darkness. Beatty’s (Number One) "The Little Match Girl” pastiche turns the child toward sunless, ancient worlds of eldritch horrors.

Michael R. Carr presents two aging adversaries converging for a final encounter in “Silence.” Carr (A Dark Allie) and artist Brian Atkins explore honor and eternal rest in eight pages of swordplay!

Finally, diesel punk meets modern world in Paul Bradford’s “The Night Errant!” Bradford (Astral Crusaders) and artist Randy Valiente bring us a character that has had enough of the corruption and crime throughout his city.

“I first read Caliber books in the late '80s, meeting Vince Locke and Guy Davis before their move to Vertigo and other industry greats like Mark Bloodworth, Tim Vigil, and James O'Barr before their fame,” said Beatty. “We’re in very good company here at Caliber. And as much as we like black ink, this colored art in Indie Comics #1 really pops off the page!”

Indie Comics #1 features mature themes and 53 pages of stunning full color art for only $2.99. See the book at Comixology at https://www.comixology.com/Indie-Comics/comics-series/84916
