Press Release
12-18-13
Aspen Comics’ plans for their tenth anniversary celebration in 2013
continues as the publisher announced its third release in their sweeping “10
for 10” initiative, the all new fantasy-adventure epic, Jirni, created by writer J.T. Krul with art by Paolo Pantalena and
Brett Smith.
The solicitation for Krul’s newest venture into the fantasy realm
reads:
Discover a whole new world of adventure! Trekking through a
violent and dangerous frontier of savage barbarians, devious thieves, and wild
creatures, a warrior-princess named Ara searches for her mother, who was stolen
away from her kingdom by a mysterious sorcerer with the help of his powerful D'jinn.
What great and terrible secrets await her in the distant horizon? Prepare
to experience an epic tale of fantasy and wonder without boundaries. This is
Ara's quest. This is Ara's destiny. This is Ara's - JIRNI.
Creator JT Krul discusses Jirni:
"Jirni is a celebration of all the things I love about fantasy
and adventure. It's the tale of a girl on a quest beyond anything she
ever imagined, venturing into a world she barely knew existed. For anyone who
has been captivated by the vivid imagery of Frazetta's masterpieces, this book
is for you. For anyone who relished in the visceral energy of Conan the
Barbarian or got lost on the rich mythic sagas of Excalibur or Clash of the
Titans; for anyone who rolled a ten-sided die or refused to leave Middle Earth;
for anyone who followed such adventurers as Flash Gordon or John Carter, or
walked the long and crazy path with a gunslinger named Roland, this book is for
you. Don't miss it. It's going to be a hell of a Jirni."
As part of Aspen’s “10 for 10” initiative, Jirni #1 will be offered for the new reader-friendly price of only
$1, and will feature a host of incentives for retailers and fans alike, many to
be announced by the publisher in the coming weeks.
The affordably priced Jirni #1 will feature a direct cover by the series team of Pantalena and Smith, while fans who add the series to their local comic shop’s subscription box are eligible for the special Jirni #1 Aspen Reserved Edition cover by Pantalena and colorist Peter Steigerwald. Fans who collect all ten of Aspen’s “10 for 10” Reserved Edition covers will be eligible to receive the free full-size Aspen Comics “10 for 10” Jam Poster from their local retailer.
The publisher plans to reveal more news on Jirni soon, along with further details on their upcoming “10 for
10” releases.
