PRESS RELEASE
Magnetic Press is proud to announce that the captivating sci-fi adventure graphic novel, FRONTIER, has won the ÉCO-FAUVE RAJA AWARD at the 2024 Angoulême International Comics Festival!
Creator Guillaume Singelin, best known for a distinct blend of cartoonish, manga-styled characters in gritty, detailed environments, with Frontier touted as his most ambitious project to date.
A humanity completely removed from its homeland, Earth, and focused solely on the stars.
With the Earth suffocating as its last remaining resources are exploited, humanity turns to a new territory beyond the planets of our solar system: The Frontier. This new gold rush will see three fates intertwine: Ji-soo, a scientist with a passion for the unknown; Camina, a cheerful and spirited mercenary; and Alex, a miner who has never known Earth. This adventure story recounts the trio’s tumultuous journey, but also their everyday life in a new world.
“We’re so excited for Guillaume and Label 619 for winning such a high profile award,” said Magnetic Press Publisher, Mike Kennedy. “We were proud to include Frontier in Magnetic’s catalog before all the well-deserved accolades came in, and are doubly-proud of how widely-celebrated it has continued to be since its release. This is just the start of what will be a thrilling 10 year anniversary for Magnetic throughout 2024!”
Originally produced by Studio 619, Frontier has been translated in Italian, Polish, Spanish. Magnetic Press obtained the rights for the English translation and fully funded its Kickstarter campaign in 2023, within moments of it going live. The award-winning graphic novel is now available for preorder on Backerkit! Pre-orders and limited editions (slipcase and hardcover) are expected to ship in spring. Paperback editions will hit shops later this year.
