RED 5 COMICS REINVENTS GOLDEN AGE “MOON GIRL”

NEW SERIES BEGINS IN APRIL, PREVIEWED ON FREE COMIC BOOK DAY

This April, Red 5 Comics brings a monthly print mini-series to comic shops that reboots and re-imagines the Golden Age comic character, Moon Girl. The publisher known for high-quality entertaining titles, like Eisner-nominated “Atomic Robo,” will preview “Moon Girl” in its annual Free Comic Book Day issue.

In a series described as “The Dark Knight meets Mad Men” Moon Girl (Clare Lune) is a former Russian Princess who championed counter-culture and social revolution in the 1940’s. Now, in 1950’s New York, she looks to settle into a quieter life only to find her adventures have inspired a new generation of fanatics who enforce their own brand of justice and social upheaval.

Series writers Tony Trov and Johnny Zito are best known for their Harvey-nominated series, “The Black Cherry Bombshells.” Trov and Zito thrive on strong female characters and high-concept adventure. They connected online with a mysterious and bearded artist who goes by his internet handle, The Rahzzah, to bring a stunning painted look to the series that is at once both lifelike and entirely fantastical.

“Champion of the counter culture, Moon Girl represents a movement of young people fed up with the corporatism and conformity of post World War II opulence. The urban legends of Moon Girl inspire the ‘Super Manifesto’ – a post-human gospel,” Trov explains. “Extremists turn to violence and terror expecting to shock the system into change. Only Moon Girl stands between them and us; anarchy and order.

Moon Girl was originally created by Gardner Fox for E.C. Comics in the 1940’s, starring in three titles and credited with shaping E.C.’s sci-fi and horror direction. Trov told Comic Pop Matters that the original Moon Girl “dealt with really interesting themes about identity, ideology and post-war society. So we’re toying with the political unrest and psychoanalytic discoveries from then to talk about now.”

The Moon Girl relaunch began with the help on digital comics distributor Comixology.  Available on iPhone/Pad, Droid and the web; Moon Girl has grown a devoted fan base.  Much like the counter culture message of Moon Girl, her series has spread virally.

As Red 5 Comics is an independent publisher, the only way to ensure your copy of MOON GIRL #1 is to pre-order from your local comic shop during the month of February using Diamond order code FEB111132.

Join the Super Human Revolution. Read Moon Girl Fights Crime.

The creation of Moon Girl, reads like a State of the Union address. And the state is not good, superheroes have opened a cultural Pandora’s Box. Moon Girl Fights Crime is perhaps the most necessary superhero book (although I use the term ‘book’ loosely to describe perhaps the premier digital comic of the moment) of the last 30 years. The two volumes produced thus far are a profound meditation on the origins of incredible wealth, on enduring individualism and the rise of the notion of civic (as the Third Place, distinct from both the Public and the Private). What Zito and Trov fashion is a reflection of society derailing itself, and a meditation on the same by a return to its origins, and the superhero genre as a conceptual tool for understanding the script.
