Captain Gravity and the power of the Vril is the Greatest Trade Paper Back in Modern Comic Book History!
By John L. Daniels, Jr




As a comic book reviewer, you are regularly searching for the ultimate comic book to read and review. In 2005, I found and reviewed that publication. The opportunity to read, review, and interview the creative team concerning one of the greatest comic book series about an African-American super hero was one of great joy and gratification.

In the city of Hollywood, a hero emerges and saves the world from a powerful supernatural force during World War II.

This man has the rule to defy gravity. He is the embodiment of what this country's principles evoked during the conflict. Helping friends during the time of war and preventing a crisis. This individual is noble in core and strong in spirit. He is concerned about the welfare of a friend and colleague, the famous actress Ms. Chase Dubois.

Ms. Dubois is smitten with a brand new friend, Mr. Jan Gunther. Mr. Gunther had strange philosophies about life. Mr. Gunther adores his newfound girlfriend, Ms. Dubois. On the other hand, our warrior was not too impressed with the debonair German born archaeologist. At dinner between Mr. Gunther and Ms. Dubois, the talk centered on the symbol that is present through out Mr. Gunther's mansion, The Swastika. The swastika symbol appears in many cultures as the brand of infinity. As the hero looked upon the symbol, he recognized that it is the logo used by Hitler's German Army. After the meal with Mr. Gunther, unknowingly our hero would be getting ready to experience one of the most incredible adventures in his life.

This incredible story is the work of a distinctive creative team composed of Joshua Dysart (writer), Sal Velluto (Artist), Bob Almond (Inker), and Mike Garcia (colorist). Together they produce one of the most awe-inspiring series and now the sensational trade paperback Captain Gravity and the power of the Vril.

The comic series and the trade paperback is a masterful collaboration by a skillful team and a publisher who has a deep understanding of how to produce a comic periodical into a stunning achievement. The Captain Gravity and the power of the Vril trade paperback aligns itself into comic book lore. The book has received many accolades including: In November 2006, The Art Directors Club of Houston awarded Penny-Farthing Press with the Gold Medal for Illustrations and Penny-Farthing Press won the Bronze Medal for Book and Cover design for Captain Gravity and the power of the Vril. Penny-Farthing Press also won an honor with the Society of Illustrators for their latest and greatest Captain Gravity and the Power of the Vril graphic novel! They were selected to appear in the Society of Illustrators Museum of American Illustration in New York and our work will be published in the annual book ILLUSTRATORS 49. (Approximately 500 were chosen out of 5,000)

Captain Gravity is the definitive hero, a peoples champion and savior. Would America accept him as he is behind the helmet? Is his prowess enough for the nation to accept Captain Gravity's ethnicity? Readers have so many questions about a hero who seems so real. The Captain Gravity character becomes real and tangible, because of the powerful writing of Joshua Dysart, the explosive artwork by Sal Velluto, definitive inking by Bob Almond and the vibrant coloring by Mark Garcia. Readers will believe in all the characters, the sub-plots, the critical era in time when the story unfolds. Readers can witness the cruel behavior of the half-men and animal monstrosities loyal to the sorcerer Jaeger of the Reich. An extra issue is included with the origin of Captain Gravity's nemesis Jaeger. Readers are able to read for the first time issue 4.5 not published in comic book form. This is an incredible story that lays the foundation of the sorcerer Jaeger.



Captain Gravity and the Power of the Vril trade paperback is a jewel in Modern American Comic Book History. Penny-Farthing Press deserves praise for this presentation of an American hero, as well as, the creative team for presenting a real hero that readers can believe in and be proud of for all time.

This trade paperback deserves an outstanding rating of five.

I had an opportunity to interview this outstanding creative team.
