Earthbound Comics Offers Free eBook

Posted on by

Independent Comic Book Publisher Earthbound Comics tries something a little different with our May release – we’re giving away a free eBook!

Readers can download and enjoy Souverain: The Kid by Mike Luoma at no charge. Originally featured in Souverain #1, this prose story is a great introduction to the character created by Ben Ferrari – meet the woman who works with the U.S. Army by day and strikes out at night on her own as the vigilante SOUVERAIN!

Ain’t It Cool News loved the book, calling the stories “hard-biting, hot button-pressing tales;” writing that it “successfully mixes real world issues with superheroism, while remaining respectful to the men and women fighting overseas and pointing a finger at atrocities performed around the world.” and calling it “…a fun book which empowers women while it entertains and inspires hope.” Now readers can sample some of that for free!

Instead of going head-to-head with Big Event comics, Earthbound Comics is going sideways. The Souverain eBook lets us reach out to the non-comic reading audience in a month where the comic reading audience is fixated on another company’s product.

We feel it’s important to try to grow the audience for comic books – we think we can, that’s one of the reasons Earthbound Comics publishes such a wide variety of genres in the first place. What better way to reach out to the eBook reading crowd?

The free Souverain: The Kid eBook approaches the greater reading public on their terms. If they enjoy the storytelling, we invite them to sample our comics.

You can download your copy of Souverain: The Kid – HERE.

Earthbound Comics is a company dedicated to putting out and promoting quality comics from a variety of creators. We’ve chosen to bypass the traditional Direct Market method, in favor of a POD (print on demand) model, because we feel that that by cutting out the financial hurdles of the direct market, we can focus more on CREATING COMICS instead of financing them.

Boys Don’t Cry, a Free Graphic Novel Under Creative Commons

Posted on by

Ostragoth Publishing is doing things a little different releasing Boys Don’t Cry their 80 page debut graphic novel under a Creative Commons License of CC BY-NC-ND as well as the ability to purchase a print copy.  Creative Commons is an easy to understand licensing structure that makes it clear a creator’s intent.  In this case the BY-NC-ND means:

This license is the most restrictive of our six main licenses, only allowing others to download your works and share them with others as long as they credit you, but they can’t change them in any way or use them commercially.

It’s one of the latest in creative ways comic book companies are building an audience and getting material out there in a mass entertainment environment.

The book in a nutshell:

Teenage boys aren’t known for sharing their fears and emotions, so if you’re the father or sister of one, how do you know how he’s coping with his mum’s death?

Fifteen year old Hunter isn’t entirely sure himself, and even if he could put any of it into words, he no longer knows who to say it to.

Boys Don’t Cry is the debut 80-page graphic novel from Ostragoth Publishing: Jacqueline Saville, Mark Pexton, Andrew Woods.

You can get your free copy here.
