Flight Plan

ROK!T is conceived and built as a vehicle to propel both established and upcoming comics creators and campaigns to even greater trajectories.

Inspired in part by mainstream comics magazines of days gone by, but moreover by the influx of talent, creativity, and ambition being launched in a new era of crowdfunding, ROK!T's mission is to add fuel to the fire of current and upcoming independent comics and graphic novels.

Countdown

  • ORBIT: Feature length interviews with Art Thibert, Jon Malin, Donal Delay, Eric Weathers -- and a semi-drunken yet still quite deep conversation with Cecil, hazily transcribed from memory after enduring a long night at nondescript and undisclosed beachside locations.
  • COMICSPACE: Writer/artist profiles with sequential art previews and excerpts showcasing current and upcoming campaigns from creators including but not limited to E.J. Morges, Narwhal, Chimera, the Diaz Bros., Vault Kobold, Simon SIM Pothier, and more.
  • FLIGHT PLAN: Ground level 101 tutorials with Eric Weathers, Phillip Diaz... and Drawing Dames with Doodlebags? Yes!
  • LIFT OFF: Narwhal's lifestyle advice? Yes!
  • SuperFan Art.
  • And more!
     

Mission Control

I'm the real Steve Dye, a 20-plus year professional in the publishing industry. In recent years I've turned my attention to graphic novel production within Comicsgate. In one capacity or another, I've contributed or am currently contributing to campaigns by Ethan Van Sciver, Jon Malin, Shane Davis, Art Thibert, the Diaz brothers, Joe Ball, Chimera, Simon SIM Pothier, Vault Kobold, Rob Shaffer, Drew Eash, and many others -- *with just a couple of projects along the way I'd sooner just forget.

Although some would say the time for magazines has passed, I maintain otherwise. While the internet may have replaced the information model periodicals once provided, it has in no way supplanted the satisfaction of a physical product. A full sized magazine features graphic design elements and expanded content forestalled when designing a page intended to be viewed on a phone. Just as we want our comics in physical form, I suspect that others, like me, would prefer their comics magazine designed and physically printed in full glossy gate-fold color to better feature the myriad creators within.

Trajectory

ROK!T is a full-sized magazine currently earmarked at 120 pages. The design and content is complete. Given a strong enough reception, additional project profiles from Comicsgate creators may be added to the page count.

The magazine will go to print immediately after the initial funding period closes and be delivered to all backers as quickly as possible. All high gloss printed products will be shipped in a secure Gemini mailer.
