Kandora Publishing, a New Jersey based comic book publisher, is set to enter the comics market with four new monthly titles, the first of which will be on sale in March 2005 and available to order in the January issue of Diamond Comic Distributors’ Previews.

This first new series, featuring 32 pages of full color story and art for the cover price of $3.50, is titled Barbarossa and the Lost Corsairs. It's written by Brian Augustyn with art by H.S. Park, colors by Transparency Digital and letters by Dave Lanphear.

“With the unfortunate demise of CrossGen, there was an opening for a publisher to create genre stories and an audience that was looking for them,” said Kandora vice-president, Tom Lee. “Kandora wants to fill that need. And in doing so, we guarantee high-quality full color art, compelling stories, more pages on a monthly basis than any other publisher and all at a reasonable cover price. I think we’ll have something that everyone will want to read and I hope that the package will be attractive enough for readers to try.”

Barbarossa and the Lost Corsairs is a pirate fantasy tale that begins on the high seas of Earth during the Middle Ages but winds up on a strange world in which the waterways are filled with giant, dangerous sea monsters.

Barbarossa and his crew have to figure out where they are, how they got there and how they can get home. But, being pirates and opportunists, they’ll pillage and plunder as much as they can.
