Monstrous has launched a Kickstarter campaign for Abbott and Costello Meet the Monsters, a three-comic series written by James Aquilone. The publisher describes it as the comedy duo’s first new comics in more than 50 years.

After over two decades of horror movie apparel and collectibles, Fright-Rags is delivering original tales of terror.

Published by Fantasia Bunko (KADOKAWA), the original light novel “I Got a Cheat Skill in Another World and Became Unrivaled in The Real World, Too” has surpassed 4.5 million copies in sales.

It’s hard to overstate Osamu Tezuka’s influence on manga and anime in Japan and comic book and animation storytelling around the world. Before there was Akira, Ghost in the Shell, Chainsaw Man, and Jujutsu Kaisen, there was Tezuka’s Astro Boy: the loveable, iconic, atomic-powered robot boy. Known in Japan as Tetsuwan Atom, this loveable hero sprang fully formed from the imagination of Tezuka-sensei, AKA the “God of Manga.” Tezuka broke new ground in 1963 when he introduced Astro Boy as Japan’s first weekly animated TV program. Now, Peabody Award-winning director Jason Andrew Cohn and the Bread & Butter Films production team (Camille Servan-Schreiber, Jinko Gotoh, Glen S. Fukushima, and Roland Kelts) — will spotlight Osamu Tezuka’s life and legacy with TEZUKA! God of Manga, an all-new, feature-length documentary. Support the film on Kickstarter today.
