    SOLICITATIONS: Image Comics collects Great Pacific

    Stephen SchleicherBy Stephen SchleicherApril 16, 2013No Comments2 Mins Read

    Press Release

    In the hit new Image Comics series GREAT PACIFIC, the privileged heir to an oil fortune declares his independence from family and business obligations in an extreme way — by founding the Republic of New Texas on the Great Pacific Garbage Patch, an island of trash in the South Pacific. But Chas Worthington soon discovers that it’s one thing to take land and another thing entirely to hold it.

    In the first volume of GREAT PACIFIC, writer Joe Harris and artist Martín Morazzo create a treacherous land made of the cast-off trash of the entire planet, populated with mutant seagulls, one very angry giant octopus, a French explorer, pirates, and a group of islanders who got there first — and none of them want to share.

    “What excites me most about writing Great Pacific isn’t necessarily the environmental message or the chance to pile up some soapboxes to preach a cautionary tale. Rather, it’s the story of one man mostly alone on this new, strange frontier that gets me going,” said creator and writer Harris. “It’s a story about exploration, and survival, and persistence, and triumph against all odds. The science fiction serves that arc, and the greater environmental message, I’d hope, is enhanced as a result.”

    Matching Harris’s adventurous story is Morazzo’s bold, vibrant art, bringing to life a land like the world has never seen before.

    “Envisioning and drawing the garbage continent, with all its strange landscapes, is something wonderful,” said said Morazzo. “From large views to small details, ‘The Pack’ isn’t just a setting, but a main character in the story.”

    Collecting the first six issues, GREAT PACIFIC VOLUME ONE: TRASHED (ISBN 978-1-60706-733-7) encompasses a story arc that drew attention from comics readers and those interested in ecological issues alike. Harris and GREAT PACIFIC were profiled in Comic Book Resources, Gamma Squad, Comics Alliance, Multiversity Comics, and Deep Sea News.
