Meet The Liberty Brigade
♦ New publishing company, Thrilling Nostalgia Comics, announces their new kickstart, The Liberty Brigade, a 100+ page graphic novel featuring the return of dozens of 1940s super-heroes in a new World War II graphic novel…
New writer Michael Finn brings along dozens of his good friends to assist in this tale of action, adventure, romance and intrigue. The editor Mark Waid, writer of Captain America, Flash, Legion of Super-Heroes, the Champions and darn near every other character under the sun. The two main artiss are Ron Frenz (Superman, Spider-Man, Thor, etc.) and Barry Kitson (Spider-Man, Fantastic Four, Legion of Super-Heroes, Batman, etc.). Comic Superstar Jim Steranko has done a variant comic book cover for the comic.
In addition to these creators, a virtual Hall of Fame has joined to provide one-page origins to catch readers up on how these characters obtained their powers. Artists include George Perez, Alan Davis, Mark Buckingham, John Totleben, Ken Lashley, Chris Weston, Paul Renaud and many more.
The story takes place in the middle of World War II. Hitler, advised by Misery, the Claw, the Great Question and others has hatched a plan to assassinate President Roosevelt using the combined power of some of the biggest and baddest villains of the Golden Age including: The Clown; Mastermind; Frost; Professor Fenton; the Ape; the Scarlet Skull and Veda the Cobra Woman. The only thing standing in their way is THE LIBERTY BRIGADE, a team consisting of The Blue Flame; Cat-Man, Kitten, The Mad Hatter, The Green Turtle and three brand new heroes: Mr. Freedom (who is connected to a Golden Age character); The Bill of Rights and The National Anthem.
The Liberty Brigade features dozens of super-heroes and super-villains from the 1940s (and a few from the 1950s) in a brand new tale. Check it out and support the Kickstarter – you can find it here:
