Massive Publishing has launched a Kickstarter campaign for Zorro: Man of the Dead, a new take on the landmark character by renowned comic writer/artist Sean Gordon Murphy.
Zorro: Man of the Dead brings Murphy’s unique voice to one of history’s greatest masked heroes, promising to be every bit as sought-after and ground-breaking as his career-defining work with DC Comics.
In this Direct-Reserve Kickstarter campaign, set to coincide with Día De Los Muertos, Massive Publishing is thrilled to celebrate the iconic character whose legacy has reflected an enduring struggle for justice and the indomitable spirit of Hispanic culture.
Supporters are able to reserve the limited series in a variety of premium formats from prestigious artists like Joe Quesada, Humberto Ramos, Adam Hughes, Amanda Conner/Jimmy Palmiotti, Walt Simonson, Dan Panosian and more. The deluxe pre-order campaign also features an exclusive connecting cover by Murphy himself, special book formats (such as the 11×17 Artist Edition), Original art, and a premium hardcover collection with cover art only available through this campaign.
Massive and series creator Sean Murphy wanted to contribute to the legacy of this legendary character in an impactful way by combining the power of crowdfunding with the lifeblood of our industry, THE LOCAL COMIC BOOK SHOP! At retail, Massive will be offering a range of exclusive retail variant covers from some of today’s top artists (Sean Murphy, Dustin Nguyen, Matteo Scalera, Tony S. Daniel, and more) starting on October 22nd. These releases will start in January and drop simultaneously with the campaign’s digital rewards, followed by the fulfillment of the premium editions offered to backers.
This campaign is meant to be an industry game changer, putting the power in the hands of fans to reach stretch goals that unlock additional variant covers both on Kickstarter and at their local comic shop. In this innovative crowdfunding model, contributing to the campaign is supporting your local businesses in real time, creating opportunities for retailers to join in on the excitement of the campaign as it progresses.
