THERE IS NO SECTION ZERO
SECTION ZERO is not a secret section of the United Nation’s charter. it does not fund a team of experts and explorers to investigate the strange and unknown. This team is an urban myth— as “real” as the UFOs and monsters they’re “protecting mankind from.”
And in 1959— they didn’t know how much they didn’t know.
Welcome To 1959
Glad you’re here. I’m Karl Kesel, writer and inker on, well, a ton of comics the past 35 years, but most importantly: this project.
SECTION ZERO 1959 is the second graphic novel featuring the popular team of hi-octane adventurers co-created by myself and Tom Grummett.
It’s also the first all-new SECTION ZERO graphic novel ever!
Our baseline idea is “Jack Kirby does the X-Files.” So all those cool, creepy creatures Mulder and Scully faced… but with lots more punching and explosions. This time we’re focusing on the original team, back in 1959. When men were men, and aliens were Little Green Men.
