Blastosaurus: All-Ages: All-new reboot of New Zealand’s top-selling indy comic for the last 10 years by creator Richard Fairgray. The prequel story helps set up the full series which follows Blastosaurus, a 6-foot-tall mutant triceratops, and his two precocious 12-year old sidekicks, as they investigate the weird things that go on in Freak Out City. They take on everything from robots and monster dogs from another dimension, sentient plant armies and ghosts to evil corporations conducting experiments on unwilling demons. All the while, they’re trying to answer their biggest question — where did Blastosaurs come from?
This is a perfect all-ages comic for fans of Gravity Falls, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Hellboy, and Will Eisner’s The Spirit. Richard has written and drawn over 200 comics and this is his first comic to debut in the United States. Blastosaurus is co-written by legendary voice actor Paul Eiding (Transformers, Metal Gear Solid, Ben 10) and the team delivers a fun and exciting story for fans of all ages. Issue #00 will be available for the first time anywhere with FREE autographs and doodles for all!

We will be giving away a FREE special preview edition of Adventure Van all weekend long. The issue gives an introduction to our main characters on Earth and gives a glimpse of what is next to come for our flawed hero and his crew on Earth and beyond. Fans of Napoleon Dynamite, Master of the Universe and Back to the Future will love this!
