Charles Soule was born in the Midwest but often wishes he had been
born in space. He lives in Brooklyn, and has written a wide variety
of titles for a variety of publishers, including others' characters
(Swamp Thing, Superman/Wonder Woman, Red Lanterns (DC);
Thunderbolts, She-Hulk, Inhuman (Marvel)); and his own: 27 and
Curse Words (Image); Strongman (SLG) and Strange Attractors
(Archaia). When not writing—which is rare—he runs a law practice
and works, writes and performs as a musician. One of his biggest
regrets is never personally witnessing a Space Shuttle launch.
Alberto Jiménez Alburquerque is an artist born, raised and
currently living in Madrid, Spain. He has put lines in French
comic-books (BD's) for almost a decade now, working for Paquet Ed.
and Soleil Ed. Some of his titles are: Fugitifs de l'Ombre
(Paquet), Le Dieu des Cendres (Soleil), and Elle (Soleil). He has
also drawn some short stories for the American comics Skullkickers
(Image), Pathfinder's Goblins (Dynamite), and Robert E. Howard's
Savage Sword and Mystery Girl (Dark Horse).
“Letter 44 is a great read! It presents a very plausible,
well-researched scenario on how NASA-or an entity like it-might
mount an extensive, high-stakes space exploration mission to save
mankind. The story touches on design and construction, astronaut
selection, challenges of lengthy manned space travel and even the
political influences that have an all-too-real effect on space
budgeting and planning. I'm a fan!” Ed Stanton, NASA Orion
Engineer, Kennedy Space Center
“I love political thrillers and I love science fiction, and Letter
44 blends these genres perfectly to make something wholly original
and fascinating. The fact that Charles Soule takes care to get the
scientific and technical details right gives the more fantastic
ideas all the more gravitas. His stories are filled with
excitement, intrigue, and mind-blowing revelations-that's my kind
of science fiction!” Andy Howell, Astronoomer/Staff Scientist, Las
Cumbres Observatory Global Telescope Network
COMICS ALLIANCE - Blending sci-fi drama with political intrigue,
Letter 44 is in a genre of its own.
PASTE MAGAZINE -- This comic has it all: terrorism, politically
motivated sex, sex in space, alien-human hybrids, orbital weapon
platforms, Biblical allusions and underground bunkers-plus plenty
of riffs on real history.
BOING BOING - There's a lot going on here and lots of places to get
potentially lost, but Letter 44 never lets up, never falters. I
found this an extremely satisfying work of original, sweeping
science fiction in comic book form.
