Radical Comics is introducing two new comics in January; one a limited-run comic book, the other a comic book introduction to a hardcover graphic novel.
Aladdin: Legacy of the Lost will be a three-issue limited run. Written by Ian Edginton and illustrated by Patrick Reilly and Stjepan Sejic, the 64-page first volume will list for $4.99, and will be available with three different covers: by Marko Djurdjevic, by Arthur Suydam, and an even-more limited one by Clayton Crain.
Aladdin will be set “from the mystical city of Shambhalla to the ends of the Earth comes a tale of magic, mystery, and the motivations of power. It is the world of Ala ad-Din, better known as Aladdin.
“Thief, gambler, liar, and cheat, Aladdin’s reckless soul falls under the eye of the sorcerer Qassim, who has spent his life scouring the sands for the Dreaming Jewel. This lost relic of shattering power will enable Qassim to steal the magic of the Djinn of the Lamp and reshape the world in his own malicious design. But to do so, he requires a mystical ability carried within Aladdin’s blood… power that not even Aladdin himself knows about. An epic adventure that twists the classic saga into dark, unexplored territories with multi-Eisner nominated writer Ian Edginton!”
Also appearing in January will be Legends: The Enchanted Issue #0, created, written, and illustrated by Nick Percival (24 pages, $1).
Radical’s Director of Marketing Gianluca Glazer writes “Following the same standard for our debut miniseries Hercules: The Thracian Wars and Caliber: First Canon of Justice, Radical Publishing presents a special $1 introductory issue for the upcoming hardcover graphic novel by award-winning illustrator Nick Percival (Dead of Night).
“You think you know them… Think again!
“Violently ripped from the pages of folklore emerge the Enchanted, supernatural immortals living in a dark, steampunk, creature-infested world where nature, technology and foul magic are in constant conflict. When the twisted, burnt remains of the half-wooden, half-mechanical warrior, Pinocchio are discovered, wolf-hunter Red Hood and giant-killer Jack realize the fragile rules of their existence have been shattered. With the help of the other Enchanted (the mercenary Goldilocks and psychic exterminators Hansel and Gretel), Jack and Red team up on an adventure to stop whatever, or whoever, is destroying their powers and murdering their kind.”
