As we approach 5 million views, we have also burned out a statistically significant percentage of our volunteers. So, Arktoons is once more calling for those who are interested in helping us continue to build the platform that provides an alternative to the converged institutional comics of DC/Marvel/etc. Specifically, it is the Restoration Team that requires restocking, hence this message from the Arktoons Production Editor:

Part of what we do at Arktoons is restore classic comics to allow new readers to enjoy these rarely seen gems. We’ve restored art and stories by legendary comic creators like Steve Ditko, Alex Toth, Jack Kirby, Basil Wolverton, and Chuck Dixon, and re-introduced characters such as Plastic Man, Charlie Chan, and many others. We need your help to continue restoring these often overlooked classics.

If you have at least five hours a week you can spare, and can help in one of the following ways then let us know:

  • We need people with Adobe Illustrator to create new lettering. You don’t need to be experienced using Illustrator, as our processes aren’t complex once you learn how we do things.
  • If you have Photoshop you can help us in multiple ways. If you’re new to Photoshop, you can create frames. If you’re a little more experienced, you can combine the art and lettering, and those with more experience can carry out some of the technical restoration processes we employ.

If you are willing and able, and wish to join the front ranks of the culture war, email: ArkhavenComics@outlook.com

The Arktoons Dev Team is also working hard on some important new features that will be of particular interest to subscribers that we expect to release before our first anniversary in April.



It’s a Hell World After All

If you’re not regularly reading the Arkhaven Comics blog, you really should. Among other things, it’s got smarter and more frightening horror than anything you’ll find coming out of the Hellmouth.

Disney Exec: Your next title is a comic book that is really just an advertisement for the Star Wars Galactic Cruiser. You have to show how fun it will be for kids.

Marvel Comic Book Writer: I’ll die first. I’ll commit suicide before I write that thing.

Disney Exec: Not a good idea once you’ve signed a contract with Disney. It’s not like we’ll let you go even if you’re dead. Did you know that all the dolls in the It’s A Small World Ride regularly have to have their hair trimmed?* There’s a reason for that.

Marvel Comic Book Writer: Oh, my Go…

Disney Exec: DO. NOT. SPEAK. HIS. NAME. That is also in the contract you signed willingly and of your own free will.

Who ever suspected that regular coverage of the Devil Mouse business could be so entertaining? Ironically, it’s even more entertaining than any of the Devil Mouse’s purported entertainment products.

An ancient holocaust holds the key to humanity’s survival.

Only a sliver of mankind survived the Xaros invasion. With Earth’s defenses in ashes, nothing can stop the aliens’ inevitable return. Hope arrives from a cryptic message from a long-lost alien race, promising the means to rebuild the shattered space fleet. Captain Valdar takes one of the last strike carriers, the Breitenfeld, and his shell-shocked crew on a desperate mission to the dead world.

Unfortunately, humans aren’t the only power that received the ancient message…
