From The Press Release:

(May 13, 2025) Acclaimed cartoonist and award-nominated animator, writer, and director Stephan Franck’s graphic novels have caught the attention of comic book creators including Elsa Charretier, Jim Lee, Jeff Lemire, Jim Mahfood, Jimmy Palmiotti, and Bill Sienkiewicz. His stylish books have been covered by The Hollywood Reporter, IGN, The Nerdist, and NPR. Now Stephan’s company Dark Planet Comics is back with two all-new books and a new printer of an impossible-to-find graphic novella, never before available on Kickstarter. The campaign will introduce new readers to ROMANCE IN THE AGE OF THE SPACE GOD — a hyper-timely dystopian sci-fi comic that Franck quietly published last year with a super limited edition 150-copy print run — as well as two brand new volumes of PALOMINO, his Ringo Award-nominated neo-noir graphic series set in the lost culture of Los Angeles’ country music clubs. ROMANCE IN THE AGE OF THE SPACE GOD and PALOMINO: Volumes 4 and 5 will both be available via Kickstarter.

Author: Stephan Franck

Deep undercover in a castle full of vampires, charismatic conman James Finnigan and his motley group of grifters must stay one step ahead of the undead in order to steal the famed treasure called the Silver Dragon and live to tell the tale. Will the team crack under pressure? And has Sledge been honest about her involvement? As the last of the Van Helsings, slaying vampires is in her blood, and merely stealing from them may just not be enough.

Set in the noir-pulp era of the 1930s, Stephan Franck’s Silver: Of Hunters and Prey is a rip-roaring, genre-bending graphic novel that draws on the best of gothic horror and heist tropes to tell a story that is pure adventure. Offering the captivating dynamics of an ensemble cast of misfits, while inviting us into a world where Bram Stoker’s Dracula is more fact than fiction, Silver is a smart, innovative story complete with world-class visuals and sharply drawn characters that’s equal parts action, humor, and heart.
