FULL MOON: PHASES OF THE MOON HARDCOVER COMING!

Cover: Andy Black

Moonstone Books has announced that the FULL MOON: Phases of the Moon HC is about 4 weeks away from release and fans of great comics can preorder it from their retailers still...

FULL MOON: Phases of the Moon

Story: Steven L Frank, Paul D. Storrie, CJ Henderson, Earl Mac Rauch
Art: Nathan Stockman, Glen Fernandez
Cover: Andy Black
78pgs, PC, $29.99

The only occasion this crazy time-travelling serial killer saga will appear all together in color!

What started with The Spider, Domino Lady, Honey West, Kolchak and others...ends here!

*Plus the unseen final chapter starring SHEENA!
*Plus a recently uncovered BUCKAROO BANZAI part of this tale!
*Plus a never before seen epilogue starring KOLCHAK, as years later he uncovers the even more startling truth behind the lies!

Moonstone is about to send out an amazing collection of pulp stories and the publisher had this to say about it: "This is Moonstone’s big team up adventure, but with our own spin on that kind of concept."

First, there are 6 individual comic book short stories, each spotlighting one character with some have characters acting in unison as well.

These 6 stories are broken down into 3 different time eras:

Era: the 1930’s: The Spider & Domino Lady
Era: the early 70’s: Honey West and Kolchak
Era: current day: Sheena

After these 6 stories, come 2 prose stories, one featuring Buckaroo Banzai (written by Banzai’s creator Mac Rauch) and Kolchak.

The Kolchak prose story is the official story ender, as the final truths are revealed.
"Years after the fact, more startling revelations are uncovered by Kolchak, with a wild twist ending!"

Written by Kolchak scribe CJ Henderson!

The overall plot is about a serial killer... and that story flows through the three time periods mentioned.

Finally the publisher concludes my stating "We wanted a big team up story... without the story being too cosmic, because these characters are not all-powerful superheroes, but ones that really put it all on the line... WITHOUT powers."

The idea for the project and the plot was created by Steven L Frank.
