The popular webcomic Johnny Saturn (now on Graphic Smash) is now out in full-color comic books. Issues one, two, and three are for sale online.

Johnny Saturn is the tale of a hard-bitten mystery man who must overcome incredible odds to foil the plot of diabolical terrorist, Dr. Horatio Synn. The story avoids traditional formulas and stereotypes, instead veering through odd narrative terrain. Even death itself doesn’t stop Johnny Saturn, and the story careens through heaven, hell, urban blight, and deep into the earth. With a varied cast of characters that includes meta-heroes, angels, demons, cyborgs, mole people, and mythological beings, Johnny Saturn is the best post-modern deconstructionist paranormal superhero crime noir with a mythological flair comic there is.
