‘Public Domain’ Returns This July From Chip Zdarsky And Image Comics

by Olly MacNamee

Writer/artist and multiple award winner, Chip Zdarsky, (Batman, Newburn) returns to his beloved series Public Domain this July with a new story-arc. Joining him will be artist Rachael Stott (Fantastic Four, Dr. Who) and colourist Eren Angiolini.

“In Public Domain #6, Dallas Comics is up and running! But can Syd put aside his feelings and make a Domain comic for a new generation before Jerry Jasper and Singular Comics beat him to it? And who is the mysterious British hunk, Carter Dusk? Nobody knows, but it’s his first appearance, so you better buy this issue and get it graded just in case!

Public Domain follows Syd Dallas, the legendary comic book artist responsible for pop culture’s greatest hero: The Domain! But his sons Miles and David have a complicated relationship with both the creation and their creator. Can they come together and create a comic worthy of Syd’s legacy?

This thought provoking series shines a light on the all-too-common battle between creators and corporations in a world where the billion-dollar creations dominate the cultural landscape.”

Speaking of how much this particular project means to him, Zdarsky said:

“Public Domain is the most personal work of mine to date, so I’m incredibly happy to be putting more issues of it out into the world again. I’m writing, drawing, coloring, lettering and desigining every element of the book, so it’s as pure a form of ‘Chip Zdarsky’ as there can be! Is that a good thing? I’ll let history judge.”

Public Domain #6 will be out on Wednesday, July 3rd from Image Comics
