Alterna Comic August releases, exclusive preview pages
Books/Art/Culture,Home,News Fangoria Staff
Watch out, comic fans! Alterna Comic titles have been flying off of the shelf and several have already sold out at distribution level. These insanely cheap newsprint comics are very affordable, yet they definitely don’t skimp on the quality. Alterna continues to be a desirable brand among comic readers.
We recently shared news about its graphic novel, THE CHAIR, which is currently knee-deep in its Kickstarter campaign to raise funds for the DVD/Blu-ray release of its film adaptation. Although they’ve already surpassed their pledged goal, there are many extra rewards to be had! Throw a few bucks to the Kickstarter in the next 10 days to become a backer of this super sweet project.
Good news for Alterna fans: we’ve got our hands on some exclusive pages from their August releases!
