Our Kickstarter just went live! I can't explain how important this is to us. Basically, this is our make it or break it as a company moment.
This is our very first collected edition and collects material from our flagship title, Martian Comics.

Martian Comics Vol. 1: Moon to Moon is a 240-page book, collecting 13 stories, written by Julian Darius with work by 15 different artists and colorists. The stories span 18,000 years (about 10,000 Martian years) of Martian civilization, from their moon landing to our own.
Who's this for? Fans of Vertigo and Image Comics, who dig sci-fi comics like Saga or Transmetropolitan, and the ambitious scope of The Sandman or Ray Bradbury's The Martian Chronicles.
Some of the stories:
"The Canals of Earth" offers a myth about a Martian god, explores Martian science fiction, and depicts early Martian exploration of Earth.
"Dinosaurs of Mars!" explores the Martian fascination with dinosaurs.
"Safari," set in the Martian city of Khylos, depicts a Martian son's coming of age, as he struggles to understand his father's participation in a violent Martian ritual.
The 58-page "Letters from the Underworld," also set in Khylos, offers a counterbalance to "Safari" by focusing on girls coming of age, as they hear a tale about their city's connection to the mythical Martian underworld.
The 56-page "The Second Most Dangerous Game," illustrated by Mansyur Daman in glorious black-and-white, recasts Richard Cornnell's classic story "The Most Dangerous Game" as a commentary on the cruelty of Martians as well as humans, how rituals (including the one seen in "Safari") change over time, and a writer's guilt.
Finally, six shorter stories (ranging from 3 to 12 pages each) offer imaginative tales featuring ancient Egypt, the prophet Ezekiel, Jesus, medieval Europe, World War II, and the aftermath of President Kennedy's assassination. Told in different narrative styles
