Original Thunderbunny Art

 

As his Thunderbunny campaign races toward its deadline, Drew Ford at It's Alive has been beavering away (Or should I say, rabbiting away?) to make it a success. Recently, he commissioned two pieces of original art, which supporters can purchase along with the hardcover volume.

This first one, drawn by artist Hernan Gonzalez, shows Bobby Caswell transform into the mighty Thunderbunny. This pencil and ink drawing is 8"x10" on thick white paper.

The second piece he commissioned from artist Ken Meyer, Jr. features not only Thunderbunny, but also his creator Martin Greim. This beautiful watercolor measures 9"x12".

 
As with the first one, this is a one-of-a-kind piece, available only with the purchase of a Thunderbunny collection hardcover. The Thunderbunny campaign is reaching its final days, so if you're interested in acquiring these beauties, or haven't yet checked out the campaign page, do so soon.

Thunderbunny Goes MAD

 

Drew Ford at It's Alive has made a few adjustments to his Thunderbunny campaign. First off, he's limited the Hardcover volumes to a print run of 100, and each copy will be hand numbered. Secondly, he's adding some more affordable options. 

Can't spring for a $65 hardcover? Now you can purchase the entire volume of the Thunderbunny Ultimate Collection as a trade paperback for $45. Is physical space in your home a factor? You prefer reading off an electronic device, you can download the volume as a PDF file for $35. 

And now, for all of you out there, who grew up reading (and loving) MAD Magazine, here's a little something for you!

 

I wonder. If you were to fold each of the sides in a little, might it reveal a hidden image? 

You can find all the updated information, see great comic art, and order nearly 600 pages of comic fun at the New and Improved Indiegogo Thunderbunny Campaign page. 

 

 

As always, many thanks to Drew Ford at It's Alive for sharing the latest news with us.

Thunderbunny Origin Story

 

Our good friend Drew Ford is pulling out all the stops to publish his new Thunderbunny Collection. This hardcover volume will be bursting at the seams with every Thunderbunny cover and story, plus fun extras and new essays by industry professionals, such as superstar Elfquest creator and WARP Graphics publisher Richard Pini. He's even kindly shared the first Black & White Thunderbunny story with us. Enjoy!

 

How's that for a superhero origin story? Talk about Fists Of Furry! This story was written by Martin Greim, with art by the legendary Gene Day and Jerry Ordway. Drew promises that this artwork will be cleaned up and included in the nearly 600 page volume. 

You can read more about Thunderbunny's history, see more artwork, and of course, back the campaign, by visiting the Thunderbunny Indiegogo page. I must say: it sure looks like a lot of furry-o-cious fun!

New Thunderbunny Collection

Here's another announcement from Drew Ford at It's Alive! This time, it's for fans of the old independent publisher Warp Graphics. The company, run by Elfquest creators Wendy and Richard Pini, also brought comic fans many other fun series to enjoy, including...

IT'S ALIVE! is proud to announce the publication of a THUNDERBUNNY omnibus collection by creator Martin Greim, along with a number of artists from a variety of publications between 1982 and 1987.

 

Thunderbunny #1 Cover, Warp Graphics, 1985

In 1960, the first appearance of THUNDERBUNNY was published in a fanzine entitled Mass Fan Newsletter. It was two drawings and a short story by Martin. 17 years later, an 8 page THUNDERBUNNY showed up in Comic Crusader Storybook. The art for that was by Gene Day and Jerry Ordway. There was also an image of THUNDERBUNNY on the back cover of that same comic by Joe Sinnott. 

 

Then, in 1982, the THUNDERBUNNY origin story was published in Charlton Bullseye #6, with art by Mike Machlan and Victor Laszlo (aka Peter Iro). Cover by Machlan and Ordway. Later the same year, the entire issue of Charlton Bullseye #10 featured THUNDERBUNNY, drawn by Brian Buniak. 

 

Finally, in 1985, THUNDERBUNNY #1-12 came out from Warp Graphics/Apple Comics, with artwork by Buniak. The last issue came out November of 1987.
