Captain Ginger Returns In New Two-Part Series ‘Captain Ginger: The Last Feeder’ From AHOY Comics
by Olly MacNamee
As part of AHOY Comics’ fifth anniversary plans, writer Stuart Moore and artist June Brigman are re-teaming for a two-issue anniversary special, Captain Ginger: The Last Feeder:
The latest installment finds Captain Ginger and his crew scattered across a thousand light-years, facing the twin mysteries of the Captain’s long-missing father—and the final fate of the human race.
Cat-lover and comic book writer, Stuart Moore, has this to say about the new two-parter:
“I’d rather write CAPTAIN GINGER than anything else in the world, so I’m grateful to AHOY for giving us the chance to continue our story. This time, we decided to tell a self-contained, Strange New Worlds-type adventure that, at the same time, tackles some of the biggest questions in the Captain’s universe. All his life, Ginger has wondered about his father, and all the evolved cats have wondered about the long-dead humans who created them. Now the answers are in their grasp—maybe.
As always, June Brigman and Roy Richardson tackled this with all the feline love and knowledge any cat-lover could ask for,” added Moore. “We were lucky enough to snag the legendary Walter Simonson for a cat-tastic variant. And never fear, dog lovers. We’ve got you covered too!”
June Brigman added:
“It’s always nice to come home to Captain Ginger. Honestly, it’s a lot like my home, but with ray guns and spaceships.”
Also working on this new book is inker Roy Richardson, and colourist Veronica Gandini, with a Star Wars inspired variant cover by Walter Simonson (Thor, Ragnarok). The debut issue of the mini-series will also feature a new installment of the AHOY fifth anniversary prose serial by Alex Segura (Secret Identity). Captain Ginger: The Last Feeder #1 is out on November 8, 2023, with the second and final issue following on December 13, 2023.
