Ready to get wet?! Southard Comics returns to Kickstarter in OCEANMAN ADVENTURES #1! A thrilling, aquatic, 200+ page, comic book anthology of seaside stories brought to you by one of the most exciting teams of comic book professionals this side of the Pacific!
For as long as anyone can remember, the underwater city of New Atlantis has been the home of the depthful duo known as Oceanman and Mollusk! A pair of righteous adventurers and good-hearted superheroes who seek to take a splash out of crime whenever duty calls! However, after years of service, the unthinkable happens and it might just mean the end of everything…
Their deadliest, most dangerous foes have finally teamed up to launch a full scale assault on the coral crusaders. There is no mercy. There is no reason. This is a funeral and our heroes’ names are written up on the tombstone! Can Oceanman and Mollusk survive their greatest challenge yet? Who is the evil mastermind behind this nefarious plot? What is the Trident of Tubigan and how does it factor across our collection of stories?
Edited and curated by Louis Southard (X-O Manowar / Flash Gordon), art directed by Tom Hoskisson (Oswald and the Star-Chaser), and painstakingly lettered across most stories by Buddy Beaudoin (The Flash / Speed Racer), this is one superhero comic book epic you don’t want to miss out on!
