REED GUNTHER, the all-ages western adventure created by brothers Shane and Chris Houghton will soon be available in full-color for the first time through Image Comics this June. The creators' originally self-published five-issue miniseries will be followed by an all-new series chockful of the same wild antics fans expect from their favorite hapless cowboy!Whether battling supernatural monsters, tracking down slimy villains, or catching a runaway train, REED GUNTHER has already won many fans over with its good-natured wit and rambunctious style. Comic Book Resources gave an enthusiastic recommendation: “If you truly want to read a comic that is good, clean fun, completely unhinged from continuity, crossovers or company agendas, then do yourself a favor and pick this book up.”
“Chris and I were physically carrying new issues of REED GUNTHER to our local comic shops to be sold," said writer Shane Houghton of the brothers' decision to move to Image Comics. "We are incredibly excited to be working with Image, who can help us spread our goofy, wild adventures of cowboys and monsters to a wider audience.”
“Publishing through Image allows us to release our original series in color, something we had always wanted to do," added illustrator Chris Houghton. "Watching Reed ride Sterling into the sunset is going to be that much more spectacular now in color!"
REED GUNTHER #1, a 32-page, full-color, all-ages western comedy for $2.99, comes galloping full-speed into a comic store near you on June 1st, 2011.
