KICKSTARTER CAMPAIGN LAUNCHES THIS WEEK!

Crusade Comics is proud to announce the launch of its latest Indiegogo campaign, Rocketeer: Pavlichenko Special Art Edition.

In Rocketeer: Pavlichenko, our hero, Cliff Secord, encounters the real-life, Ukrainian sniper Lyudmila Pavlichenko in the Crimean Mountains during World War II. Lyudmila was credited with over 300 kills during World War II, making her the most successful female sniper in recorded history and as you’ll find out, she is going to have to put all those skills to the test to save our hero.

Rocketeer: Pavlichenko Special Art Edition

Working alongside with The Rocketeer Trust, this 32-page, full-color special featuring Billy Tucci’s Rocketeer short story that was published in the Eisner Award winning anthology, Comics for Ukraine: Sunflower Seeds. This book will feature the original story, plus pages of never-before published concept artwork, including rough layouts, pencils, inks, and script. We will also explore just who this extraordinary young Ukrainian woman was and remember the Rocketeer’s legendary creator, Dave Stevens.

“In essence this art special is a wonderful behind the scenes insight on comic book story creation and a project I am extremely proud of, featuring my personal comic book hero, Dave Stevens and my favorite all-time character.” Stated writer-artist Billy Tucci.

“Billy’s union of historical figure Lyudmila Pavlichenko and pulpy hero, the Rocketeer, makes a great comic read!” Added, Rocketeer Trustee, Jennifer Stevens Bawcum.  “This Special Art Edition of the story is a must-have for all Rocketeer collectors!” Joining Tucci on The Rocketeer: Pavlichenko is colorist Brian Miller and designer/letterer Mindy Lopkin.

Crusade is offering three variants, The Special Art Edition, The Silver Nitrate Variant and the signed and numbered, Actual Metal Cover Edition. Also offered is a reduced-priced book bundle.
