Archaia and Roddenberry Productions have revealed writer Phil Hester (Firebreather, The Darkness, Green Arrow) and artist Frazier Irving (Batman & Robin, Seven Soldiers of Victory) as the creative team (along with cover artist Dale Keown) for the first and fifth issues of the 5-issue Days Missing mini-series that continues the Roddenberry tradition of sophisticated, intelligent, and entertaining science fiction. 

 

To introduce this series to as many people as possible Archaia is offering the full-length, full-color first issue for just 99-cents when it ships in August.  An exclusive, limited-edition version of the issue, with a variant cover drawn by Keown, will be on sale for $5 at the Archaia and Roddenberry Productions booths at San Diego Comic-Con (July 23-26).

 

Days Missing, which is based on a concept by Roddenberry executive Trevor Roth, tells the stories of a mysterious being known only as “The Steward.” His ability to literally “fold” days of time has allowed him to secretly remove critical days from our shared history that have forever changed the course of mankind.

 

Each issue of Days Missing will tell a stand-alone story, but will also tie-in to the over-arching saga of “The Steward.”  Archaia is planning to use four all-star creative teams on the mini-series with Hester and Irving providing the bookends with issues #1 and #5.  The creative teams for the middle three issues will be announced by Archaia in the weeks leading up to San Diego.
