Doc Talos Magazine takes the concept of the Hero Pulp into a world of infinite possibility. It is specifically designed to hit hard…to offer stories and art for a mature, sophisticated audience…stories without boundaries.
An outgrowth of the Doc Talos series of books, which have boldly fused fine art and ivory tower literary skill with raw pulp energy, the magazine is a venue for mavericks and outlaws of the creative world — creators with a serious voice, that may be too dangerous for the more mainstream editors and publishers in even today’s landscape of entertainment. Rule breakers of form and content…fierce innovators of mind, body and soul.
Series creators R. Paul Sardanas and Iason Ragnar Bellerophon are joined by authors and artists Fugazi, John Gallagher, Don Murphy and Leslie Payton in the presentation of tales from the Doc Talos mythos.
Advance reviews:
“I love when the desperados, the badasses, of creativity put something out there to shake things up. Doc Talos Magazine is one holy helluva shakeup.”
“I’m a firm believer in using literature as a very literal FORCE for good, and so it’s very exciting to see a whole magazine built around Weltanschauungbackpfeifengesicht as well. Cheers to you…”
“I’ve been a fan of the Doc Talos stories since shortly after they started coming out, and am impressed, and somewhat in awe, of how the series consistently pushes, no, EXPLODES the boundaries of both story-telling and art.”
“This is the bloody, sexy pulps in the hands of some of the wildest, wickedest…and wisest people on the planet. What a ride…”
