(July 18, 2023) This fall, as part of AHOY Comic’s gala fifth anniversary, writer Stuart Moore and artist June Brigman are teaming up once again for a two-issue AHOY anniversary special — CAPTAIN GINGER: THE LAST FEEDER, an all-new chapter in the acclaimed sci-fi epic about cats in space. 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.
“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,” said writer Stuart Moore. “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.”
By the original team of acclaimed writer Stuart Moore (Marvel Crisis Protocol), legendary comic book artist June Brigman (Power Pack), inker Roy Richardson, and colorist Veronica Gandini, with a galactic variant cover by Walter Simonson (Thor, Ragnarok), issue #1 of the mini-series will also feature a new installment of the AHOY fifth anniversary prose serial by Alex Segura (Secret Identity).
“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!”
“It’s always nice to come home to Captain Ginger,” said artist June Brigman. “Honestly, it’s a lot like my home, but with ray guns and spaceships.”
CAPTAIN GINGER: THE LAST FEEDER #1 will be in stores on November 8, 2023, with the second and final issue following on December 13, 2023.
