Acclaimed cartoonist and award-nominated animator, writer, and director Stephan Franck has garnered a prestigious group of admirers for his graphic novels. This impressive list includes notable comic book creators such as Elsa Charretier, Jim Lee, Jeff Lemire, Jim Mahfood, Jimmy Palmiotti, and Bill Sienkiewicz. When such accomplished creators take notice, it’s clear that Stephan Franck is doing something exceptional.
On May 12th, this talented creator launched his Dark Planet Comics title, “Romance in the Age of the Space God,” on Kickstarter. “A hyper-timely dystopian sci-fi comic that Franck surreptitiously published last year with a super limited edition 150-copy print run.” But that’s not all! He is also bringing two new volumes of PALOMINO, his Ringo Award-nominated neo-noir graphic series set in the lost culture of Los Angeles’ country music clubs.
We are excited to reveal the following exclusive pages from Stephan Franck, showcasing his work, “Romance in the Age of the Space God.”
The Kickstarter campaign will introduce new readers to “ROMANCE IN THE AGE OF THE SPACE GOD” — a hyper-timely dystopian sci-fi comic that Franck quietly published last year with a super limited edition 150-copy print run — as well as two brand new volumes of PALOMINO, his Ringo Award-nominated neo-noir graphic series set in the lost culture of Los Angeles’ country music clubs. ROMANCE IN THE AGE OF THE SPACE GOD and PALOMINO: Volumes 4 and 5 will both be available via Kickstarter.

Senior Writer at GeekVibesNation – I am a 60 something child of the 70’s who admits to being a Star Trek/Star Wars/Comic Book junkie who once dove headfirst over a cliff (Ok, it was a small hill) to try to rescue his Fantastic Four comic from a watery grave. I am married to a lovely woman who is as crazy as I am and the proud parent of a 21-year-old young man with autism. My wife and son are my real heroes.
