E-MAN Returns to Comics
Haverhill, MA, March 15, 2006 -- E-Man, the energy being from outer space who makes his home on earth as a super-hero, returns to comics this September from Digital Webbing Press. Created by Nicola Cuti and Joe Staton for Charlton Comics in 1973, E-Man has always been a fan favorite, marked by equal amounts of action, mystery and humor.
E-Man enjoyed a 10 issue run with Charlton followed by 25 issues from First Comics in the 80's. Digital Webbing will release a one-shot E-Man this fall by series creators Cuti and Staton.
E-Man will be joined by his girlfriend, Nova Kane, who developed energy powers herself early in the initial Charlton series. The one-shot will also feature E-Man’s arch-enemy, The Brain from Sirius.
“We’re pleased to bring E-Man back in all-new adventures. He’s always been a favorite character of mine,” said Ed Dukeshire, publisher of Digital Webbing Press. “And to have the original creators, Nick Cuti and Joe Staton, doing the honors is a real treat.”
In addition to E-Man, Cuti has written Captain Cosmos, The Last Starveyer; Moonie, Moonchild the Starbabe; and Michael Mauser, Private Eye.
Staton, an Inkpot and Eisner Award winner, has drawn Batman, Green Lantern, Plastic Man and, currently, Scooby-Doo. He served as Art Director at First Comics.
Digital Webbing (DigitalWebbing.com), created and launched by Ed Dukeshire in 1997, is the acclaimed source of comprehensive information on comic book-related websites. In addition to providing daily comic news and reviews, Digital Webbing is well known for its "talent engine" -- matching writers with artists, both amateur and professional.
Digital Webbing entered the publishing arena in 2001 with Digital Webbing Presents. The anthology showcases a combination of aspiring and established talent. In addition to Digital Webbing Presents, DW Press publishes Zombie Highway and BloodRayne, based on the popular video game.
The all-new, full-color E-Man one-shot will be solicited in the July issue of Previews for a September release.
E-Man was one of those very odd comics that I first saw on the spinner rack many many years ago. it was very strange and poorly distributed I found maybe three of the Charlton issues before it disappeared and then re-appeared when I was out of high school at First Comics. Some of my favorite Joe Staton artwork and some great parody of the X-men. I am curious if they can re-capture the spark. More on E-man here..
