Image Comics will release Next Issue Project: Crack Comics #63 as part of its ongoing New Issue Project series in December.  The Next Issue Project is a series of oversized comics in which modern creators produce a new issue of a comic book last published in the 1940’s.

 

Next Issue Project: Crack Comics #63 takes up where Crack Comics left off when it was cancelled in 1949, with new self-contained adventures of Captain Triumph, The Clock , Molly the Model and Space Legion done by artists including Alan Weiss, Erik Larson, Herb Trimpe and Michael Allred, who also provides a variant cover for the issue.

 

"The Next Issue Project is for any fan of comics, not just fans of Golden Age books," says editor Erik Larsen. "Everyone who contributed to Crack Comics #63 was intent on fulfilling the promise of the Golden Age and delivering a book that was more than a mere homage, but also a thrilling glimpse of what comics could be -- if only creators were allowed to run wild with the characters they were handed! These creative dynamos jumped at the chance to present their own take on these Golden Age heroes and demonstrate comics' true potential!"
