From the co-creator of Marvel's X-Men, here's an SF super romp that has everything--and everyONE--that made the Bronze Age sensational!
Dave Cockrum created and designed some of the Bronze Age's greatest costumed heroes. Following his meteoric rise to stardom on DC's Legion of Superheroes, Dave moved to Marvel and unveiled his characters Nightcrawler, Colossus, Storm, Thunder Bird, Mystique, Ms. Marvel and the Black Cat. Along with creative partners Len Wein and Chris Claremont, he breathed life into Wolverine and the X-Men, designed Phoenix, and created the Starjammers. But none of his creations were more colorful or more explosive than his FUTURIANS (Marvel Graphic Novel #9).
The FUTURIANS remained with Dave after he left Marvel and now belong to his widow Paty who has teamed with Aardwolf Publishing to release Dave's final script and art. And Dave's professional friends and admirers have joined in to celebrate and help launch this exciting project.
In addition to Dave's FUTURIANS story (inked by Bob Wiacek) The FUTURIANS RETURN will feature pin-ups from Jim Lee, Bill Sienkiewicz, Ricardo Villagran, Mark Wheatley, Mark McKenna and other Dave Cockrum ""professional admirers"". Neil Gaiman and Clifford Meth have added written pieces that bring Dave Cockrum himself to life, while Neal Adams, Walt Simonson, Adam Kubert and Andy Kubert have contributed signed bookplates. There's also a breath-taking painted cover by Ray Lago... and even a few surprises.
