Tony Trov Dot Com

Comic Book Resources gave us a nice write up about our new iPhone comic, Moon Girl.“Super Heroes are tricky,” Zito said. “We find they work best when re-contextualized to the 1940s – 60s. We took a lot of inspiration from ‘Justice League: New Frontier’ and ‘Marvels.’ ‘Moon Girl, is based on a Golden Age superhero created by Gardner Fox for EC Comics in the 1940s. The copyright has slipped into public domain so we started there.”“It’s ‘The Dark Knight’ meets ‘Mad Men,’” Trov said when describing the book. “Clare is a Russian princess exiled to New York. When enemies from the past threaten her new life, the repressed Warrior Queen fights back. The media catches wind of her nocturnal crusade and christen her Moon Girl.”Zito added that Moon Girl is a “champion of the counter culture,” and represents a movement of young people “fed up with the corporatism and conformity” of post World War II.“The urban legends of Moon Girl inspire the ‘Super Manifesto’ - a post-human gospel,” he said. “Activists subvert the establishment by dressing in bright Technicolor clothes and taking futuristic new names. Extremists turn to violence and terror, expecting to shock the system into change. Only Moon Girl stands between them and us, anarchy and order.”Check out the interview HERE.Read a free preview of Moon Girl HERE.

Coming out today from Comixology:

Masked vigilantes wage a psychotic war against 1950’s bourgeois; it’s The Dark Knight meets Mad Men. Clare is a Russian Princess happily exiled to New York. When enemies from the past threaten her new life, the repressed Warrior Queen fights back. In the media her secret, nocturnal adventures are attributed to a mysterious hero; Moon Girl. Champion of the counter culture, Moon Girl represents a movement of young people fed up with the corporatism and conformity of post World War II opulence. The urban legends of Moon Girl inspire the ‘Super Manifesto’ - a post human gospel. Fundamentalists subvert the establishment by dressing in bright technicolor clothes and taking futuristic new names. Extremists turn to violence and terror, expecting to shock the system into change. Only Moon Girl stands between them and us, anarchy and order.

Fake brick paneling is amazing. This is the process of creating a fake brick wall set for a documentary I designed for BET Channel. Pics after the bump.

Help us celebrate our latest project

 

Zito and I talked with Brett at over at Surfing The Bleed about zombies, vampires and Aquaman. Yeah that’s right, Aquaman.

 

“Tony Trov and Johnny Zito are the co-writers of the Harvey-nominated Zuda comic Black Cherry Bombshells, a bloody, joyous mixture of grindhouse cinema, female pro-wrestling and apocalyptic fallout. They recently launched a new Zuda series, LaMorte Sisters, which deals with the reformation of wayward young vampiric girls by a group of frightening Catholic nuns. They may also be the two best dressed men in comics….”
