FIRST KANDORA PUBLISHING TITLE SET FOR RELEASE
Barbarossa & The Lost Corsairs #1 Scheduled To Be In Stores On Wednesday, April 6
April 4, 2005, Ft. Lee, NJ – This coming Wednesday, April 6, 2005, Kandora Publishing’s first title, Barbarossa & The Lost Corsairs #1 hits the stands. The launch of Barbarossa & The Lost Corsairs marks the return of pirate comics to comic stores. Like all Kandora Publishing titles, Barbarossa & The Lost Corsairs #1 will feature 32 pages of story and full color art for the cover price of $3.50.
Barbarossa & The Lost Corsairs is written by industry veteran Brian Augustyn with art by H.S. Park, colors by Transparency Digital and letters by Dave Lanphear. Barbarossa and the Lost Corsairs #1 begins on the high seas of Earth during the Middle Ages but winds up on a strange world in which the waterways are filled with giant, dangerous sea monsters. Barbarossa and his crew must figure out where they are, how they got there and how they can get home. But first, they’ll pillage and plunder as much as they can.
“It seems like it has been forever since we started working on Barbarossa & The Lost Corsairs #1,” said Ken Choi, Kandora Publishing publisher. “I’m just really excited that the fans will finally get a chance to see and read what all of us here think is a great pirate adventure story.
