Captain Flynt and the Corsairs of the Seven Systems

March 4, 2018

It’s been quite some time since we’ve tossed out a friendly update, and it’s high time we remedy that. Last month you may have noticed that we quietly helped launch a new book called Captain Flynt and the Corsairs of the Seven Systems! If you missed it, now is your chance to fix that - you can grab a physical copy by visiting the Robot Paper shop or a digital copy from Comixology. Featuring art by Ryan Howe and a host of other talented folks, Captain Flynt is packed full of swashbuckling space adventure. If you are fan of Star Wars, Buck Rogers, or really anything in space be sure to pick it up!
