SIR REGINALD & THE CLOCKWORK HEART is currently running its campaign on Kickstarter, but thanks to Goats Flying Press, Monkeys Fighting Robots has an exclusive four-page excerpt for you!
The project has already doubled its funding goal on Kickstarter with currently nine days left in its campaign.
About the book:
From scorching deserts to fathomless oceans, from sacred temples to ancient graveyards, Sir Reginald and the Clockwork Heart follows the eccentric adventurer Sir Reginald, intrepid gentleman (and skeleton) adventurer and his loyal ghostly butler Mr. Spittle, on a series of extraordinary expeditions.
On each adventure, Reginald finds a mysterious artifact to add to his growing collection. However, there is more to these missions than meets the eye… What is Sir Reginald really scouring the globe for? And what is the secret project he keeps hidden even from his close confidant Mr. Spittle in his secret workshop?
The graphic novel is written by Joe Atalla, and features five interconnected adventures, each illustrated by a different superstar artist:
-
The Curse Of Osiris, featuring art by Juni Ba
A lost pyramid, an ancient god, and a forbidden resurrection, brought to life by Juni Ba.
-
In The Deep Below, featuring art by Joe Atalla
Something unthinkable lurks beneath the waves near an old fishing hamlet, where the shadows run deeper than the darkest ocean.
-
The Lost Temple, featuring art by Jesse Lonergan
Sir Reginald returns to the ruins of an ancient temple to right a wrong he himself started many moons ago.
-
Wyrm Of Destruction, featuring art by Dimitrios Pantazis
An expedition to an old Barrow in the English countryside sets loose a fierce dragon.
-
The Clockwork Heart, featuring art by Armand Bodnar
In this 28-page climactic story Sir Reginald faces off against his old nemesis, Prof. Zardoc, in a race against eternity itself to uncover the secret of the Clockwork Heart, and undo the greatest regret of his life…no matter the cost!
The book is colored by Brad Simpson, with letters and design by Jeff Powell.
“Sir Reginald and the Clockwork Heart has everything I think a comic should today—memorable characters, action, adventure, romance, humor and a dash of mystery,” said Atalla. “Beneath this lies a fiercely beating heart that will make you question yourself by the end of the story. I’m so proud of what my collaborators and I have created. These stories have something for everyone.”
“We’ve brought together five all-star creators to introduce readers to the world of the globe-trotting, tomb-raiding, tea-sipping skeleton adventurer Sir Reginald,” added Goats Flying Press Founder and Publisher Sebastian Girner. “Bringing together the spooky pulp adventure of Mike Mignola’s Hellboy with the zany all-ages hijinks of Ducktales, Sir Reginald & the Clockwork Heart is sure to delight readers of all ages, longtime fans of comics and graphic novels and first-time readers alike.”
