"Weird and funny and charming and... it's so much fun to read." - Mark Waid (DAREDEVIL, KINGDOM COME)
ALBERT THE ALIEN originally appeared in the educational anthology READING WITH PICTURES. Trevor and Gabo loved the character so much, they launched him into a webcomic series in 2013 (updates Wednesdays and Fridays at www.AlbertTheAlien.com) and the series was picked up by Mark Waid for his Thrillbent website (updates Tuesdays at www.Thrillbent.com). In 2014, Trevor and Gabo raised over $8,500 through Kickstarter to produce ALBERT THE ALIEN VOL 1: NEW IN SCHOOL, which had themes around making friends and anti-bullying. This second volume will continue to have strong positive themes for kids, but a fun adventure story they want to read.
"This is absolutely EXACTLY the sort of comic we should all be reading. Smart, addicting, good-hearted and brilliantly put together, Albert the Alien is a wonderful comic." - Steve Morris (Comics Beat)
Created by Trevor Mueller and Gabo, the series stems from their mutual love ofSaturday morning cartoons when they were both growing up. Albert the Alien is the first foreign exchange student from another planet. And whenever Albert gets involved, the ordinary becomes extraordinary. The second volume takes place a week after the first, when all of the teachers mysteriously call in sick and are replaced by robot substitute teachers. And it’s up to Albert and his friends to find out who’s responsible, and stop them before they take over the school and ruin his first Homecoming Dance. Trevor will once again write the story, with art and colors by Gabo.
The campaign is now live at https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/trevoramueller/albert-the-alien-vol-2-the-substitute-teacher-from and runs through Monday, June 29.
