#Bios
Joe Harris is the New York Times-bestselling writer and creator of comics and graphic novels including Ghost Projekt and Wars in Toyland (Oni Press), Rockstars and Great Pacific (Image Comics), and Disaster Inc. (AfterShock) and Past Time (Mad Cave Studios). As a young creator at Marvel Comics, Joe launched the Spider-Man spinoff, Slingers, and the Bishop: The Last X-Man series. After a popular run writing the return of Agents Mulder and Scully’s investigations into The X-Files (IDW), his scripts were later adapted into the chart-topping audio releases from Audible, The X-Files: Cold Cases and The X-Files: Stolen Lives featuring the voices of the original TV cast, David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson, and garnering multiple award nominations. A horror screenwriter and filmmaker, Harris conceived and co-wrote Darkness Falls for Sony Pictures, and the political farce slasher movie, The Tripper for FOX.
The grisly Viking werewolf comics saga, Sun Eater—created by Dylan Sprouse and co-written with Harris—was published by Heavy Metal in 2022. His new sports series with a supernatural twist, Past Time, will debut next year.
A native New Yorker, he lives in Manhattan with his two cats, Gus Gus and Max.
Martín Morazzo made his major comics debut with the 2012 environmental sci-fi saga, Great Pacific, an Image Comics series he co-created with Joe Harris.
Martín has since worked on Art Brut, She Could Fly and Snowfall, amongst others; and he’s been published by Marvel, Dark Horse Comics, Vertigo, IDW Publishing, Z2 Comics and BOOM! Studios.
In 2018 he co-created the critically acclaimed horror anthology series Ice Cream Man, along with writer W. Maxwell Prince and colorist Chris O’Halloran. It has already released more than forty issues and has been published throughout the world.
He is currently working on Human Nature, a new sci-fi series with Darren Aronofsky, Ari Handel and Jeff Welch to be published in 2024 by Abrams Books.
Martín lives in Buenos Aires, Argentina. When he isn’t absolutely consumed with drawing comics and deadlines, he likes to spend time with his wife and daughters.
#Stretch Goals
At a funding goal to be determined, we will be adding a brand new 8-page short story to the book by Joe and Martin!
#Timeline
The book is complete, and when the campaign ends the files will be ready to go to print within two weeks. The only thing that could add more time is if we unlock the new 8-page short story, which would take the team a few months to create. We'd keep you updated throughout that process.
Printing and shipping should take around three months, so delivery of rewards is expected to be done early ‘25.
Zoop will always be here to communicate with supporters should any delays occur, if there’s confusion about delivery, or if any other concerns pop up.
