IT'S HERE! CATCH A PREVIEW OF FLARE ADVENTURES #31!
Only eighteen years late, and twenty-four years after it started, it's the thrilling conclusion to the extended storyline that began
in the very first issue of FLARE!
Classic Flare artist, MARK PROPST, has returned for Flare's "Farewell to the City of Angels," the all-new adventure that
brings together Flare, Lady Arcane, the savage Tigress, and the sinister Thugmaster in a wrap-up of
all the various overarching plot threads that two decades ago ran through the first series of comic books featuring the adventures of comics' shining goddess
of the light.
There are still a few untold stories that date from that period in our heroine's life, most notably an unexpected visit from ICICLE that
we'll eventually get around to telling you about. And there is a gap between this adventure and the sequence of stories that
began in Flare v3 #1. But for the time being, this brings us full circle. The Flare Adventures title goes on the shelf for a
while. And the regular Flare comic book returns in two months with new adventures that take place today!
Come this March, when Billi Jayne Jensen, the sensational G-Girl, makes her long-awaited debut in the pages of Champions #55,
she'll be drawn in the clean, crisp style of the talented Italian artist, Gaetano Petrigno. Since this is a name that may be
unfamiliar to American fans, we asked Gaetano to tell us a bit about himself. Take it away, Gaetano.
I studied at the Italin School of Comics, and am at the moment working on the comic book "Sensational G-Girl." I am also collaborating as an inker on the Red Whale publication, "Pop Pixie".
My work has been published in the Italian comic book, "Sangue e Pizzo Nero," with a story written by Francesca Paolucci. Moreover, I worked with Enrico Teodorani on the publication, "Adios Djustine."
The majority of my work has been as an inker for several Italian authors such as Aurelio Mazzara (Bluejaye) and Quirino Calderone (Maschere).
Now I am hoping to make it in the American market, and to continue my carrer as a comic book artist.
Plans are for Gaetano's work on the G-Girl to appear regularly in the pages of Champions, giving fans bonus adventures of
America's newest costumed hero in addition to the G-Girl stories that will appear in her own magazine. Gaetano's G-Girl adventures
are currently slated to appear in Champions #55, 58, 60, and 62, with a principal focus less on fighting super-villains, more on the personal stories.
The G-Girl stories you'll see in Champions will be all about the trials and tribulations
of a teenaged girl with super-powers trying to adjust to the profound changes in her life that this peculiar new circumstance
of being a superheroine has caused.
Check out the online preview of Champions #55 here.
DICK GIORDANO'S PENULTIMATE TIGRESS ADVENTURE!
Did you know that before his untimely passing, comic book great Dick Giordano was on tap to be the regular artist for the
Tigress? In addition to the stories that appeared in Tales of the Champions #4, Flare #35, and Champions #40,
there exist two more Giordano-drawn Tigress tales. The first of these, an eight-page team-up between the Tigress and Doctor Arcane,
has been scheduled for inclusion in League of Champions #14, with a tentative release date of June.
The remaining Giordano Tigress tale has not yet been scheduled, but will most likely appear either in an upcoming issue of
our flagship Champions title, or in an issue of a revived Tigress solo magazine.
A preview of the Tigress/Doctor Arcane adventure can be seen here.
