Next Wednesday September 6, the first issue of AHOY Comics’ latest jam-packed anthology PROJECT: CRYPTID will land in stores, featuring unbelievably hilarious and hilariously unbelievable tales about cryptids from around the world. Featuring comics and short stories from well-established creators as well as new voices, PROJECT: CRYPTID will transport readers from the depths of Loch Ness to the wilds of the Yeti’s Himalayan Mountains to the Ohio backroads where the Loveland Frogman lurks, asking the important questions like are any of these mysterious, unthinkable creatures actually real? And more importantly, are they funny?
Also: the issue will feature the first installment of THE ALL-STAR ANNUALLY CONVENING COZY DETECTIVES CLUB in PARTIALLY NAKED CAME THE CORPSE!, a thirteen-part epic that kicks off with an extra-long first installment by the bestselling writer Grant Morrison, whose many award-winning comics works include JLA, New X-Men, and Green Lantern, and whose first novel Luda was published last year to great acclaim. A baker’s dozen of the comics industry’s finest prose writers have combined to craft the epic serial which will weave in and out of all AHOY’s regular titles over the next three months, plus the fifth anniversary specials THE WRONG EARTH: WE CAN BE HEROES #1-2 and new title CAPTAIN GINGER: THE LAST FEEDER #1-2. The full lineup can be found here.
