Rocketo No. 0
Speakeasy Comics and writer, artists and visionary Frank Espinosa bring you a stunning debut series this August - Rocketo!
Journey to the Hidden Sea is a multi-issue graphic series by artist Frank Espinosa that follows the life and adventures of Rocketo Garrison, world-famous explorer and mapmaker. Set 2,000 years into a mythical future, the world as we know it has been destroyed in a catastrophe and its magnetic field distorted. The only way for mankind to now navigate through the broken land masses is by the unique abilities of the Mappers, a genetically engineered group of men and women who act as human compasses.
Issue #0 introduces Rocketo Garrison as a young boy on the Island of Kova where he lives with his mother and father, a maker of the specialized equipment the explorers use and a renown Mapper himself. One day as Rocketo reads about the fabled land of Ultamo and the role it played in the world's destruction, the young boy is profoundly changed and his lifelong adventure as a Mapper begins. The following issues of Book One follow Rocketo as he grows to manhood, his terrible experiences in the Solarium Wars and his great adventure into the forbidden Hidden Sea.
Created, written and illustrated by Frank Espinosa, Rocketo #0 also features "lyrics" by Marie Taylor. Espinosa is a world-class animator having redesigned the complete Looney Tunes characters in 1992 making them one of the top grossing properties of all time; fashioned a series of Looney Tunes US Postage Stamps and designed the Baby Looney Tunes characters, among other achievements.
