Elephantmen #21 - a great jump-on issue!

Issue #21 is in some ways a direct sequel to our first issue, in that it picks up on the stories of Elephantman Ebony Hide and his human friend, Savannah. Having said that, it's an action packed, pulls-no-punches story with Totally Kick Ass artwork by our regular cover artist Boo Cook, and this story sows the seeds of our next big storyline, QUESTIONABLE THINGS. It's a great jump on point for new readers or people who've been sticking to the trades because they are afraid to jump in the middle of an ongoing story.

I'm so glad we're overshipping this particular issue because I want it to get into as many people's hands as possible... We've sold out of EVERY issue since #16 -- the Marian Churchland issues were a huge hit -- and our numbers have been holding very steady since we returned to our regular monthly schedule with our series of standalone stories, DANGEROUS LIAISONS. I envision ten hefty ELEPHANTMEN collections by the time we're done, so readers have a lot to look forward to.

Moritat returns as regular artist with issue #23, as Hip Flask and Ebony are forced to deal with a MAPPO sleeper cell which seeks to reactivate the Elephantmen as the weapons of mass destruction they intended them to be!

We also have knockout covers by J Scott Campbell and Steve Skroce, and a couple of other big surprises in the months to come. Watch this space!
