Michael Turner Creations Debuts on Kickstarter

Aspen Comics is pleased to announce the launch of their first Kickstarter campaign focused on their founder and superstar artist, the late Michael Turner. Launching March 25^thÂ at 7pm Pacific Standard Time,Â Michael Turner CreationsÂ is set to be Aspen“s most ambitious publication to date.

Michael Turner CreationsÂ is a prestige format oversized hardcover with slipcase collecting all of Michael Turner“s iconic Aspen Comics work, highlighted by his flagship creationsÂ FathomÂ andÂ Soulfire, as well as his work on theÂ EkosÂ Preview. This 600-plus page hardcover will include the entirety ofÂ FathomÂ andÂ Soulfire volume one, the best-selling volumes of each respective series. In addition to the aforementioned material, the publisher is including a foreword by Michael Turner“s mother, Grace Crick, along with the founder of Marvel Studios“ David Maisel, the chief architect of the Turner-verse, the planned feature film slate by Mythos Studios based upon Turner“s work.

Aspen has brought on some of their best-selling cover artists such as Siya Oum, Alex Konat, Jordan Gunderson, Talent Caldwell and Tyler Kirkham, in addition to high-profile artists such as David Mack and Kendrick Lim for their first-ever Aspen covers, a variety ofÂ Michael Turner CreationsÂ dust jackets available exclusively in the Kickstarter campaign. Plus, the publisher will be offering a special signed dust jacket by legendary artist Alex Ross.

For the first time in Aspen“s history, the publisher is opening up their vaulted Michael Turner original art collection from his personal sketchbook and offering a selection of original layouts, sketches and fully illustrated pieces drawn by Turner across multiple reward tiers. This selection of original art and sketches dates back to Turner“s classicÂ WitchbladeÂ run and into his Fathom and Soulfire work, then into his later years on the iconic Marvel and DC Comics titles such asÂ Civil WarÂ andÂ Identity Crisis. Aspen strongly encourages interested Michael Turner Original Art buyers to finalize and select the reward tier of their choice as early as possible before they sell out.

The publisher is also debuting several new Aspen Comics merchandise including featured items such as a “Grace”“ fromÂ SoulfireÂ plush doll, new Aspen ComicsÂ FathomÂ andÂ SoulfireÂ acrylic figures, Kickstarter exclusive comics, and several new Michael Turner related items and products for purchase as add-ons.
