IDW Publishing, along with comic production house Hazmat
Studios and film production company Blind Spot Pictures, are thrilled to
present fans with the official IRON SKY movie tie-in graphic novel in March
2013. Drawn and colored by the amazing artistic team of Gerry Kissell and Amin
Amat, the guys behind IDW’s best selling graphic novel Code Word: Geronimo, and
Xbox’s comic game tie-in Alan Wake. The book will also be featuring original
pin-up art by Miguel Angel Abad (Planet of the Apes) and Darren Douglas (Golden
Compass) and chronicles the battle against the return of history’s most
notoriously evil villains, the Nazis, who unbeknownst to us, escaped to the
moon following their defeat in World War II.
“The graphic novel is a prequel to the hit sci-fi action
film Iron Sky produced by Blind Spot Pictures, and focuses on how the Nazis
ended up on the moon, and how Udo Kier’s character, Wolfgang Kortzfleisch,
became Der Überführer.” Said lead artist Kissell. “Part steampunk and part
comedy, the graphic novel was written masterfully by Alan Wake scribe, Mikko
Rautalahti. who has a wicked sense of humor.” Kissell continued.
The book will be 104 pages, with 67 pages of comic art
with an additional 33 pages of production art, behind the scenes bonus
material, and other exclusive material written by the film’s director, Timo
Vuorensola.
