Volume 2 | Space Bastards (original) (raw)

A Note from Postmaster General Roy Sharpton

HOWDY FOLKS.
When you were growing up did you have a dream? Did you want to be a writer, a musician, President of the United States, an astronaut?

Whatever. Point is, are you living that dream now? No? Working a job but barely making ends meet? Is your white picket fence not quite as sparkly as you once thought it’d be?

That’s the rub, ain’t it? Well, let’s talk about dreams for a second…

Look, there were these two kids who once dreamed of making a comic for adults that was the most balls-to-the-wall kinetic action sardonic sci-if story of all time. A story, as luck would have it, about being master of your own destiny. No joke, the very first drawing of a Space Bastards character happened when one of the writers was only 13 years old! In college, that same kid built spaceship sets in his backyard, and made movies about the Intergalactic Postal Service.

Flash forward, and you have right at your doorstep SPACE BASTARDS VOLUME 2.

This is a massive tome of a book. Just over a foot in height! Now I don’t know how you came here. Maybe you picked up an issue of Space Bastards from Humanoids from your local comic store and want more. Maybe you bought Volume 1 and you’re salivating. Maybe you don’t know shit about the Bastards! Look, it don’t matter. Right here is 136 pages, the second volume, featuring the director’s cut of what is available in stores, in a unique reading order. A tour of the universe in all of the violent glory. This is like binging that show about dragons instead of waiting every week for the next chapter of that story about a witch in suburbia. This is a journey.

That’s right. And these guys didn’t stop after making one comic. They didn’t stop after making the first hardcover. So far, they have produced a year’s worth of content (over 500 pages) in collaboration with their artistic heroes, namely:

Darick Robertson (Transmetropolitan, The Boys, Happy!)
Simon Bisley (Lobo, Slaine)
Boo Cook (Elephantmen)
Colin MacNeil (America, Judge Dredd)
Clint Langley (ABC Warriors, 2000AD)
And more to come!

See, this isn’t just a book. It’s a lifelong passion. To take charge of your own destiny. Be your own boss.

Look. Listen here. You aren’t just supporting a book. You aren’t just getting a new chance in life as a galaxy-faring SPACE BASTARD. You are getting in on the ground floor of the most audacious book series ever launched, with over 4 volumes of content ALREADY COMPLETELY PRODUCED! You heard me right. This is not a book series in development. The writers and artists are working hard right now on potential books for the second year!

We have a saying at the service: “Because we don’t have time to fuck around.” And neither do you.

Cheers, and keep the solar winds backside!
