Last week, veteran comic book creator Aaron Lopresti launched a crowdfunding campaign for Kit Carter: Planet Doom, a 64-page sci-fi graphic novel.

The project is already fully funded, having raised more than $50 thousand at the time of this writing.

Written and illustrated by Lopresti, Kit Carter: Planet Doom is inspired by classic sci-fi adventures of the 1950s.

Here’s the official pitch taken from the Kit Carter: Planet Doom Indiegogo campaign page:

Kit Carter is an elite ranger in the Galactic Alliance Freedom Force (GAFF) and along with her partner, Merv the Astro Chimp, she polices the galaxy bringing the most dangerous villains and tyrants to justice. Lord Menace is the Tyrant King of a dying, monster infested planet, code named Planet Doom. In a dangerous and desperate move, he acquires the Eye of Ominon and employs its unmatched power to rejuvenate his planet and create forces to conquer the galaxy. Kit and Merv are dispatched to stop him, but is this the one adversary that even they can’t handle?

Find out in this irreverent, space adventure inspired by 1950’s sci-fi B movies!

Backers can get a copy of Kit Carter: Planet Doom for $30. If you have more cash to spend, you can also get the following tchotchkes and extras:

• Multiple copies of the book
• A hardcover edition
• Sketch book
• A shot glass
• Movie poster
• T-shirts
• Previously released books by Lopresti

It is also worth noting that there is an additional shipping charge starting at $8 for those in the United States.
