Feature: Harken’s Raiders

Good morning, backers! Today, we’re share with you a few more pages from Harken’s Raiders, and tell you a bit about the folks creating it.

Harken’s Raiders began with an idea from U.S. Army veteran Allen Cordrey. Naturally, knowing that writer Ron Marz is a sucker for history, Allen made his pitch to get Ron on board. Next up was Ron’s Green Lantern partner, artist Darryl Banks, who also signed on, meaning the Green Team was back together for their first sizable story since their GL days.

Allen also assembled a world-class team of creators to color, letter, create alternate covers, a pin-up gallery, and even back-up story. We’re thrilled to work with this amazing cast of creators which includes: Sean Izaakse, Dee Cunniffe, Ross Hughes, Hassan Otsmane-Elhaou, Craig Cermak, Amrit Birdi, David Delanty, Jennifer L. Meyer, Richard Clark, Matthew Waite, and a few more still to be announced.
