The Crater Kid Collection

By Marty Baumann
Introduction by Jack Davis

Marty Baumann's space adventure strip is an ode to the bright, hopeful sci-fi comics and B movies that enthralled the award-winning cartoonist as a youth. The Crater Kid chronicles the adventures of a bullied schoolboy who is whisked away from his ordinary life to save the inhabitants of a distant planet from a succession of attacks and catastrophes. And in the process of saving other worlds, he learns a lot about himself.

An estimated 150,000 people see The Crater Kid each month; it appears on hundreds of Web sites and in individual e-mail bins throughout the world. The Crater Kid also appears as the monthly companion story to Steve Conley's Astounding Space Thrills comic book, published by Image.

Marty Baumann is an award-winning designer and artist with 20 years experience in magazine, newspaper, children's book and comic book illustration and Web site design. He worked for six years at USA Today before co-creating the paper's Web site.

He's since created thousands of pages, designing and consulting for movie studios and major corporations. Marty has done editorial illustration, logo design and info-graphics for newspapers, magazines, network television promotions and Fortune 500 companies.

In addition to the Crater Kid, Baumann is the creator of The Astounding B-Monster, a virtual monster magazine for B-movie fans. Entertainment Weekly called it: "the best online journalism devoted to camp, monster and cult movies."
