It Girl & The Atomics #6

Price: $2.99
“HIS SPACE HOLIDAY”
It’s a solo Mr. Gum adventure! The rubbery Atomic has the day off on a distant planet. He’s met a cute alien girl and is about to get a glimpse of the local wildlife. Prepare for giant space-monster action with guest art by Blue Monday creator CHYNNA CLUGSTON FLORES!
February will bring with it a special Valentine to readers of Michael Allred‘s It Girl And The Atomics. Chynna Clugston-Flores, creator of Blue Monday, is teaming up with series writer Jamie S. Rich for a standalone issue about a fan-favorite character from the Madman universe, Mr. Gum.
Like the other members of The Atomics, Mr. Gum is a former beatnik who developed superpowers after being exposed to alien spore — in his case, the power of elasticity. He and the other Atomics are on a galactic concert tour, and It Girl And The Atomics #6 is a not-so-typical day off. To impress a girl, Mr. Gum decides to prove his rock-star status, and ends up tangling with more trouble than he bargained for. And possibly a giant space monster.
Clugston-Flores’s art is known for its manga-influenced style, high energy, and mod sensibilities, the perfect combination for the space adventures of an ex-Beatnik. She also has experience, being the first artist besides Michael Allred to draw It Girl, in a one-shot published by Oni Press when Rich was editor there.
It Girl And The Atomics #6 will be in stores on January 23!
