Long time readers may have read my posts on the 1980s series Airboy from Eclipse Comics. The independent publisher helped many talented people publish their dream projects. Now Drew Ford at It's Alive is bringing one of those grand visionary journeys back to us, with his remastered collection of all fifteen issues of the Eclipse comic series Aztec Ace.
37 years ago, in 1984, Doug Moench (legendary Batman and
Master of Kung Fu scribe, and creator of Moon Knight) created and wrote the
first of a fifteen issue series for Eclipse Comics. This series soon became the wildest, most
incredible time travel story ever told in comics, or anywhere else, for that
matter!
This was also made possible by the talented group of artists who joined Moench on his time-travel journey, which included: Michael Hernandez, Dan Day, Nestor Redondo, Ron Harris, Mike Gustovich, Mike Harris, Art Nichols, Thomas Yeates, Tim Sale, Mark Pacella, Phillip DeWalt, Denis McFarling, Steve Oliffe, and Sam Parson.
Included you'll find a brand new introduction by Doug Moench, a new foreword by original series editor Cat Yronwode, a new essay about comic book design and coloring in the 1980s by original series colorist Denis McFarling, and a new afterword by journalist (and original Eclipse Comics staffer) David Allen.
This collection boasts new AZTEC ACE pin-ups by an amazing group of comic book superstars, including: Matt Kindt, Bill Sienkiewicz, Paul Pope, Jeff Lemire, and many more!
Now, all fifteen issues of the
AZTEC ACE series are being collected into a hard cover collection that any
serious comics collector MUST have on their shelf.
