While history is written by the winners, the full story of humanity is built on the moments when things went completely sideways; the spectacular screw-ups, monumental mistakes, and explosive errors that paved the way for the bright and shiny achievements we normally celebrate. Today, the losers get their due as we honor the speed bumps we had to hit on the road to progress!\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn this entertaining tour of ill-fated futures, some of comics' brightest talents relate the historical failure they're most passionate about, bringing each moment to life in a hopeful and inspiring short story anthology. Some of these dreams were too big for their time, some were unfairly stopped by forces beyond their control, and some were best left on the cutting room floor, but all are windows to a world of possibility that's still -- for now -- just beyond the horizon.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFeatures work by \u003cb\u003eRYAN NORTH, HARRY \"HBOMBERGUY\" BREWIS, EVAN DAHM, BLUE DELLIQUANTI, RYAN ESTRADA, \u003c\/b\u003e and many more!\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eEditor \u003cb\u003eKel McDonald \u003c\/b\u003ehas been working in comics for over a decade--most of that time has been spent on their webcomic \u003ci\u003eSorcery 101. \u003c\/i\u003eMore recently, they have organized the \"Cautionary Fables and Fairytales\" anthology series while contributing to other anthologies like \u003ci\u003eDark Horse Presents, Smut Peddler, \u003c\/i\u003eand \u003ci\u003eSleep of Reason. \u003c\/i\u003eThey've also worked on \u003ci\u003eBuffy: The High School Years \u003c\/i\u003eand recently finished a creator-owned series, \u003ci\u003eMisfits of Avalon, \u003c\/i\u003eand the Eisner-nominated \u003ci\u003eStone King. \u003c\/i\u003eKel is currently working on the self-published series, \u003ci\u003eThe City Between. \u003c\/i\u003eTheir work can be found at kelmcdonald.com.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 300\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.8 x 10.2 x 6.6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e July 09, 2024\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51763441631520,"sku":"9781638991236","price":30.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0974\/9764\/5344\/files\/4c29bff4d1cf70a01aa1dac64778f66c.webp?v=1780235861","url":"https:\/\/ebocreations.com\/products\/failure-to-launch-a-tour-of-ill-fated-futures-paperback","provider":"The E-Book Oasis LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
