Rocketship's Imprint For Kids, Bottlerocket, Starts With Felix The Cat
Webcomic-to-print publisher Rocketship Entertainment announced today that it will be rolling out Bottlerocket, a new imprint for early readers (Ages 6-10) and middle-grade (Ages 8-12) titles. For its first title, Bottlerocket is partnering with Studio Stario to publish Dreamworks Animation's Felix the Cat by Mike Federali, Bob Frantz (Metalshark Bro), and Tracy Yardly (Sonic the Hedgehog). The pre-order campaign for Felix the Cat launched today on Kickstarter and features several exclusive products, including a Felix and friends enamel pin set, a dust jacket by Ringo-nominated artist Thom Zahler (Cupid's Arrows, My Little Pony), and prints from Zahler and Eisner Award winner Art Baltazar (Tiny Titans, Young Justice). You can read a full preview below.
"We've put a lot of love and time into this story, and I'm so grateful that it's making its way to the fans. Felix has always been a favourite of mine, so it was very important to take the time with NBCUniversal to get it right. Being able to bring new Felix stories to life is a dream come true, and I hope the fans enjoy the ride as much as we did," said writer and Studio Stario president Mike Federali. The new imprint will also be publishing future Studio Stario titles, including Go Beezerk! and Cosmic Fox.
In addition to its partnership with Studio Stario, Bottlerocket will be publishing the second volume of Emilia Ojala's graphic novel series Fox Fires, the webtoon series Spirits: The Soul Collector by Colin Lawler and Joseph Grabowski, and Rob Feldman's Ringo-nominated Cyko KO, which was recently announced as an animated series starring Jon Heder (Napoleon Dynamite, Blades of Glory).
"With Bottlerocket, our goal is to bring the magic we had growing up on a steady diet of comics to readers of all ages today, so when we got the chance to partner with Studio Stario and DreamWorks Animation on Felix the Cat as the imprint's first title, it felt like a once in a lifetime opportunity that we simply couldn't pass up," said Tom Akel, CEO of Rocketship Entertainment.
