Metalbeard Saga on Kickstarter
"A young viking prince is exiled to the moon mines after losing his beard in a tragic hot soup accident. This is his saga."
Vikings? Moon Mines? Beards being lost in tragic hot soup accidents? There is no part of the tag line to this campaign that doesn't make me want to hear more of this Metalbeard and his saga. To be fair, if I were to list the things I'm into, Viking moon mines probably would be left off, but only due to me never really knowing it was an option.
The creators of Metalbeard Saga are a small Canadian graphic novel publisher named Space Pyrates; which takes it's name from it's first run of graphic novels: Space Pyrates. Normally I'd try to tell you about their earlier graphic novels, but full disclosure: I haven't read it...yet. Plus I couldn't possibly hope to describe it better than they do, so here's a description of Space Pyrates straight from the horse's mouth aka their web store:
"You want a description? FINE, OK. Two kids living in a shanty in the middle of a dump are forced to pay rent. Rather than move out they try find jobs, even start a band, but ultimately turn to intergalactic piracy. Along the way they discover clones, robots, aliens, the secret of Christmas, a nickel, some string, a king, a captain, and a crazy cat lady."
The creators are being as transparent as possible with where the money will go and they even drew a handy little graphic to display it. Their style is simple forms with elaborate compositions that works well to fill scenes with smaller details you'll notice on your second reading. I feel like giving these people my money will make the world a more awesome place for people that deserve it to be awesome, bonus to that already awesome outcome: I get a rad as hell comic out of the deal.
