Happy Electric Mandays!

Today we present the final original covers our production brawbot Rob Miller rescued from the vault concerning Electric Man. However, you might notice they concern not Electric Man himself, but his curious female companion/muse/foil(?), Scarlet Wrath.

And the timing couldn't be better as the time has come for artists and writers (and funders) the world over to step up to the plate to help the creators of the movie make an associated comic! Head over to Indiegogo where director and writer Dave Barras and Scott Mackay will explain all. But be quick as the campaign ends in just 11 days!

You may recognise one of Production Brawbot Rob Miller's covers (on the left) has successfully made it into the promo mix....

More tantalising images are to be found across on the team's website, where we were very happy to see that Graham Manley (who was responsible for the original Electric Man origin segment you see in the movie's titles) has made a start on the proposed issue #1 itself! Just take a look at the wonderful images below to see what lies in store....

And remember, this isn't just about contributing to the funding and creation of the comic - it's about creating Electric Man comics yourselves, making this a wholly unique venture! So what are you waiting for? Get scribbling!

It's just yet another Electric Manday....

As well as asking Rob to restore a plethora of long-thought-lost Electric Man covers, the team behind the film were then fortunate enough to unearth the first 3 volumes of the Electric Manga series (which are very rare indeed), by the highly creative team of Daiki Barash and Shiro Makamoto. Printed by SOHO Entertainment these are thought to date back to the early 70's....

It's just another Electric Manday....

Not so long ago (2011), in a galaxy not so far away (Edinburgh), Production Brawbot Rob Miller helped out on the self-funded Electric Man movie. The team behind the film passed on a selection of rare issues from the comic's lengthy run across the decades, asking Rob if he'd apply some digital-pokery, archiving and restoring these comics to near as possible their original glory....

Electric Man - Trailer 2

Now that the film's available on DVD everyone can enjoy this "wonderfully twisty-turny comic caper, made and played with warmth, wit and genuine affection" (c/o Frank Quitely) at home, the eagle-eyed amongst you perhaps wanting to look out for (artistic) cameos by Curt Sibling, Graham Manley, Alex Ronald, Team Girl Comic, our very own John Miller and more.... Only a tiny handful of the restored covers were glimpsed in the film (much like the restorer himself, but that's understandable as he's camera shy and the bulk of them were worked on during and after production), so treat this as something of an exclusive premiere, several of these scarce issues thought lost forever....
