Spark Comics Presents

I'm proud to annouce our first two GA comics available will be Tony Trent as The Face and 'Flash' Lightning.

Our intention is to use these Golden Age reprints as a spring board for developing these characters into more mobile comic strips and then reprint our developed strips into Print On Demand books.

While we are also developing the characters from the 1940's Spark Publication comics, we are developing public domain characters from other publications of the period too.

Tony Trent is a radio broadcaster who moonlights as a crime-fighting terror donning a horrible mask. Working secretly with the commissioner of police, he is able to obtain information from the underworld that the police cannot. In the genre of BATMAN and hard boiled crime, comes the adventures of TONY TRENT as THE FACE. First published in 1947 by Columbia Comic Corporation.



SPARK COMICS is proud to present 'FLASH' LIGHTING. Robert Morgan was given great powers by the Old Man of the Pyramids. to fight crime as "Flash" Lightning. In this episode, he fights the evil dictator trying to take over America from his flying fortress hidden in the clouds.



'FLASH' was later known by the name Lash Lightning and accompanied by a female super hero friend, LIGHTNING GIRL, with the same powers. Published in Sure-Fire Comics by Ace Magazines, 1940.

PRODUCTION SCHEDULE

SPARK PUBLICATIONS / SPARK COMICS on Blogspot is a temporary home and news portal. Listed below are some of the things needed to get our site up and running for the contributors to sell their works.

- Prep existing Golden Age comics and upload them to ROKcomics.com to get some initial revenue. Will consider reinvesting this revenue into paying our contributors to write/illustrate more Golden Age content for SPARK COMICS.
- Fine tune LICENSE AGREEMENTS and get that out to everyone. Addendums and negotiations to follow.
- Get everyone started on processing their comics for mobile and print on demand.
- Get images, blurbs and bios from Contributors to build the actual site.
- Finish setting up SparkPublications.com
- Get everyone's books positioned on ROK and Lulu.
- Prep our marketing material.
- Launch site and marketing material.

Something to note about preparing comic panels for Mobile. I got this idea from Rick Hoberg and recommend it to the Contributors. When/if you have panels that are long, you can size them and fill in the sides with a color like the sample below:

SPARK COMICSTM offers a new platform for classic comics creators to publish their original works and develop our RETRO-FUTURIST Golden Age Revival.



The COMICS INDUSTRY can be pretty cruel because of the lack of creator rights and the fairly fast turn over rate. What has happened to all the great contributors and cultural icons of our past? MOBILE COMICS are revolutionizing the comics world as web comics did not long ago. Now creators can publish to a global audience in a medium that reaches more viewers than computers do. Comics of the Sunday Strip Style are most suitable for viewing on mobile devices. There are technical limitations but no creative limitations.

SPARK COMICS TM wishes to remind the world where comics came from and give us a greater appreciation of their entertainment value and historic relevance. Bringing Golden Age comics to mobile screens is a big step toward preserving the tradition of Comics.

SPARK PUBLICATIONS TM has gained the attention of some extremely talented and highly recognized creators in the comic book field. Check out our CONTRIBUTORS links and get to know more about what they do and why it is important to the world of graphic literature and pop culture.




STAY TUNED, we have got a lot of cards up our sleeve. If you like surprises, we are rollin' out the barrel! Wait 'til you see how we revamp and revitalize classic Golden Age heroes for our own Spark Comics Universe TM. I'm bustin' at the seams to tell ya, but shucks, that would spoil the fun.





There are a lot of great blogs at Blogger.com on Golden Age comics with many knowledgeable writers. Spark Comics TM takes on the challenge of retaining the central themes of these characters and stories but making them enjoyable for contemporary audiences. We welcome link shares and any inquiries.
