Mario Gully Joins Billy Tucci, Chris Giarrusso with Lazerman Variants

HBComics is about to see the end of their first Kickstarter campaign on November 2 and they're oh so close to completing it. They've just announced a surprise that might put them over the edge though. A new variant for their trade paperback by Image Comics artist Mario Gully.

“I got to do another one of these for (HBComics) later down the road!! Fun..FUN!!,” said Gully, via facebook.

Gully joins Billy Tucci and Chris Giarrusso in producing variant covers offered for the “Lazerman: This Man, This Lazer!” Kickstarter campaign. It's aimed at getting a TPB collecting the first four issues of the Lazerman issues.

“Mario's cover is fantastic," said Chris Herbert. "It's a little more provocative than we usually go for Lazerman, but as a special kickstarter reward, it's a nice bonus for the older fans. Don't worry, Lazerman is still an all ages title.”

Full press release below.

HBComics first kickstarter is coming to an end November 2nd, and the self-publishing group has added a new last minute suprise: A new variant for their trade paperback by “Ant” creator and Image Comics artist Mario Gully.

Gully joins Eisner Award nominated creator Billy Tucci and mini-marvels artist Chris Giarrusso in producing variant covers offered for the “Lazerman: This Man, This Lazer!” kickstarter campaign.

“ I got to do another one of these for (HBComics) later down the road!! Fun..FUN!!” Said Gully, via facebook.

“Mario's cover is fantastic. It's a little more provocative than we usually go for Lazerman, but as a special kickstarter reward, it's a nice bonus for the older fans. Don't worry, Lazerman is still an all ages title.” Artist Chris Hebert promised.

The Kickstarter campaign (HBComic's first) is aimed at getting a trade paperback produced collecting the first four issues of the Lazerman series, according to series artist Chris Hebert. According to Hebert, Lazerman is “an all ages, classic style super hero story about a comic book geek who, in a bizarre twist of fate, actually gets real super-powers.” The series is currently on it's seventh issue.
