Larry Young, Jimmy Palmiotti join Kickstart Comics
Larry Young, comic-book publisher and writer of “Astronauts in Trouble,” poses in a prop spacesuit from the movie “Mission to Mars.”
Larry Young and Jimmy Palmiotti will join Kickstart Comics, a new graphic novel publisher with an eye on multimedia expansion, Variety reports. The line is headed by Jason Netter, producer of “Wanted,” and it will be under the umbrella of his Kickstart Entertainment.
The line will produce at least 24 graphic novels per year, and will be distributed through major retailers including Walmart.
Young is the publisher of AiT-Planet Lar, and wrote the graphic novel “Astronauts in Trouble.” Palmiotti is known as the co-creator of “Painkiller Jane,” and for heading the Marvel Knights imprint with Joe Quesada.
Young tells Comic Book Resources:
“At AiT, we’ve worked with Jason at Kickstart for many years. Loved shooting the NOBODY pilot for ABC Family up in Vancouver with him, and we have very similar sensibilities when it comes to graphic novels, so I’m really looking forward to helping the Kickstart team bring a mainstream entertainment experience to comics.”
Both of these guys are some of the friendliest in comics, and they have a good sensibility for graphic novels that reach outside of the traditional comics audiences.
