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

A mob boss deals with an "internal problem" when territory is up for grabs in the Paul Bradford story "Hostile Takeover!" It's not business as usual.

Pulp magazine covers are the inspiration for the Gary Scott Beatty future fiction “Captain.” The mission is to find and inhabit Heofon, but they have to get there first.

Rick Bonn and fan favorite artist Christopher Herndon wrap up their caveman adventure in "Perchance to Dream? Terry Cronin concludes his spring break weird tale in an extra long "Flame of Faith" chapter, with art from Julia Lichty.

Indie Comics Magazine Features Peter Kuper in the Landmark #10 Issue in October's Previews!

Aazurn Publishing reaches the tenth issue of it’s flagship title Indie Comics Magazine by featuring a story from indie legend Peter Kuper. He joins other independent comic book veterans and talented newcomers in the new issue, for order from October 2015’s Previews catalog! OCT151006

"From political commentary to straight-up horror to all ages stories, we have it all in this issue," said Publisher Gary Scott Beatty, "All eight tales are done-in-one, complete stories showcasing creativity that exists, for the most part, outside of mainstream comic book publishing.

Special Guest Peter Kuper (Mad Magazine, World War III Illustrated, The System) presents the wordless "One Dollar" in Indie Comics Magazine #10. One small piece of paper affects the lives of over a dozen people in this powerful tale.

"Peter has been telling gripping stories that illustrate social issues since co-founding World War III Illustrated in 1979. His Vertigo book The System, an even larger wordless work, explores class warfare in the big city. We’re very lucky to have him in this milestone issue," said Beatty.

Then, actor Gil (Buck Rogers) Gerard accepts a strange role in "Welcome to the Con" by Big City Comics Studio’s Jeffrey Kaufman, who is both a prolific comic book writer and a nationally recognized legal expert and defense attorney.

Future world citizens regret attending a government sponsored open forum in Paul Bradford’s "Unpropitious Fate!" Bradford has appeared in most of the prior Indie Comics Magazine issues. His small press, Inertia Publications, is based in Western Australia.

Alien gladiators battle to the death in Troy Vevasis’ "The Duel!" Troy publishes his indie through Troy’s Comics, including fan favorite Furry Qaileny, and the distinctive Trolik series.

In Terry Cronin’s "Horse Power G" humans talk about their horses — and the horses talk about them! "I’ve been following this Terry Cronin all ages series and I never, never know what’s coming next!" said Beatty. "Terry has appeared in every single issue of Indie Comics Magazine."

Street races turn deadly in "Speed Demonz!" Gabe Lamberty has a full graphic novel based on this concept of violent street races run by a syndicate, and his short story in Indie Comics Magazine introduces that world.

Dark plans place hens in indentured servitude in Rick Bonn’s "Farm Noir!" An author who has also developed film projects, Bonn’s storytelling skill shines through in this short with stylish art by Scott Irwin.

K.J. Murphey’s tale relates how a trapper seals his fate in "A Weindigo Curse!" "Horror is a useful outlet for a talented artist and I love the atmosphere that hovers over this tale," said Beatty.

With its landmark 10th issue, Indie Comics Magazine solidifies its claim as the comic book with the best story and art from independent comic book creators. A Previews exclusive found only in comic shops, Indie Comics Magazine #10 can be ordered from October 2015’s Previews catalog from Aazurn Publishing, Diamond Order #OCT151006.
