Howdy All,
We've just sent out a new press release with a very cool announcement! Read on!
Australian comics legend, Glenn Lumsden, joins trailblazing Digital Comic, The Legend of Spacelord Mo Fo
Ironclad Imagineers is thrilled to announce the return to the comics world of Australian comics legend, Artist - Glenn Lumsden. Glenn's work on Marvel's The Phantom, DC's Batman: Legends of the Dark Knight and Cyclone Comics', The Southern Squadron and Dark Nebula paved
the way for a generation of aspiring Aussie comic artists to come.
We've lured him back with our game-changing digital comic series, The Legend of Spacelord Mo Fo. Glenn will be making a Special Guest Artist appearance in the upcoming Episode 1: Part 14, as we blast our way towards the explosive Episode 1 finale.
A word from Glenn - “I can't wait to help
out the guys on Spacelord Mo Fo. When Dave first showed me what they
were doing, I fell in love with the new medium. Comics and computer
combining beautifully to create a whole new story telling experience.
The visuals are fabbo, it's exhausting to think Dave's been drawing this
solo. Then I read Pat's screenplay and was totally sold on the whole
thing. Believe me, the story is NOT what you expect! It's going to be a
lot of fun helping Dave to at least one of the many grueling weekly
deadlines the guys have committed themselves to.”
Launched in January 2012 by Ironclad Imagineers, Pat McNamara and David G. Williams', The Legend of Spacelord Mo Fo is leading the charge across the digital comics frontier alongside celebrated pioneers, Mark Waid of Thrillbent's Insufferable and Marvel's Infinite, Kurt Christenson and Reilly Brown of Power Play, and D.J. Coffman of Hero by Night.
About The Legend of Spacelord Mo Fo
It's a post-apocalyptic, space-western,
dramedy, with anime influences and a shot of that dark and sexy HBO
stuff, so yeah, it's for a more mature audience... well, not for 'kids'
anyway, not sure about the 'mature' part. We follow the misadventures of
Bran Mak Foo and Honey Pott, a just-married couple scrounging a living
in their dilapidated deep-space freighter, the Qupid, on the Edge of
Endspace; a vast region of space where no semblance of civilization has
reemerged after a galactic apocalypse... or three. The Edge is a place
where heroes are few, villains are plentiful, and the rest are just
trying to survive...
...oh, and as if life weren't tough
enough already for our heroes, Bran just so happens to be the most
wanted man alive - Spacelord Mutha... well, we'll say Mo Fo
because we're in polite company. The Mo Fo's said to be a one man army
who walked into a bar and let loose a hell that destroyed a city. Of
course, the truth behind that tale is something else, but that's a truth
for another telling. At its heart The Legend of Spacelord Mo Fo
is a rock-em, sock 'em tale of love and guns, with Bran and Honey
fighting the good fight against the galaxy, and sometimes each other,
but always finding a way through... together... mostly... we hope...
How the digital comic works

by Mark Waid and Stuart Immonen?... Well, the Mo Fo's like that. The

Ironclad's mission is not to replace traditional comics, rather, we

stories through sequential art, into the frontier of hereto unimagined
narrative and visual storytelling possibilities offered by the digital
medium. The Legend of Spacelord Mo Fo is our first.
Hope you're all as excited to have Glenn bringing his awesome talent to the MoFoverse as we are!
Cheers all,
