Empire Comics
Empire Comics is our new publishing label for comics and comic related material. Over five years ago we crowd-funded our fist comic project, the wildly successful Wraith of God graphic novel, that turned out to be one of the best reviewed comics of the year and quickly sold out. We followed that with Wraith of God #2: Blood Hunters, Wraith of God #3: Fear Hollow and the Kit Carter: Planet Doom graphic novel. All three were huge successes. Our next Empire Comics project is the currently active graphic novel tribute to Savage Tales Magazine, Barbaric Adventures #1. Follow the link below to see the campaign!
All of the information about current and upcoming comic book projects and campaigns will be detailed on this page. The Lopresti-verse is rapidly growing with new characters, stories and products and you won’t want to miss out on any of the excitement.
BARBARIC ADVENTURES #1:
This first issue includes stories by Aaron Lopresti, David Williams, and Dan Lawlis, as well as contributions by Gary Martin and a few more surprises. AARON LOPRESTI debuts his new title, PRIMAL ZONE; the story of a reluctant hero cast into an inter-dimensional world of Dinosaurs and Cavemen. DAVID WILLIAMS introduces us to the story of a young medieval knight who battles a horde of demons in a quest to become a true warrior. Finally, Dan Lawlis takes us to a futuristic Mars where a high tech society has fallen in to savage chaos and one man leads a rebellion to defeat the corrupt powers that have seized control. GARY MARTIN also contributes to this project, as well as a bonus preview story by AARON LOPRESTI. The stories and art by this talented group is sure to captivate and excite, bringing back those fond memories of when sword and sorcery magazines ruled the newsstands.
