Armageddonquest Book One: Tazio comes to the Amazon Kindle 1 & 2

The first book in Ronald Russell Roach‘s 20-Book Armageddonquest series has been released onto the Amazon marketplace, fully adapted for the Kindle 1 & 2 screen formats.  Originally published in part by Starhead Comix and then in its entirely by Sirius Publishing in the 90’s, Robot Comics is proud to bring this forgotten work to modern eReading audiences.  The thick black art of “3R” translates beautifully onto the eInk Kindle screen, coming across clean and smooth and crystal clear.  BOOK ONE: TAZIO is on sale for $1.99 and contains 77 Screens of comix storytelling glory!

I welcome those of you lucky enough to be discovering AQ for the first time. In 1993 there were just two issues available, covering about 160 pages of the story. The print runs were humble and the book was very hard to find. I was jealous of Starhead for publishing such an important new comic. I lusted after it. Like Tazio, this selfish motive inspired me into action, that I could not stop until I was satisfied. It was difficult to believe that Ron’s story truly spanned over 800 pages, as advertised in those comics. I had to see it. I had to read it. Within the second issue from Starhead was a message from Ron urging for support of the series to come from those that really wanted to see it keep coming out. I was completely hooked by what I had read so far: I needed to see more. I had to have it. I had a lust to read AQ.

Believe the hype. You have never, ever seen a comic like AQ. I have been into comics for (gulp!) 20 years. They were my first obsession. Reading and collecting comics offered me more than just incredible worlds and information you didn’t learn at school. Comics became a constantly renewable source of business opportunities for me. Yet in all my reading and in all my retailing and publishing, I have never, ever seen a comic like AQ.

–Robb Horan, Publisher, From his Introduction to the 1997 SIRIUS Edition of AQ, Volume 2

SYNOPSIS

The story of Tazio, the reluctant Anti-Christ, as he travels from birth to the very moment of ARMAGEDDON. An epic modern-fantasy-horror adventure over 850+ pages and TWENTY Books all told!

BOOK ONE introduces readers to TAZIO, the small child who is destined to be the prophesied Beast of the Apocalypse! Tazio lives blissfully unaware of this greater destiny, sheltered within the walls of an ancient Italian villa. He’s raised by the strangest guardian a boy could imagine: THE ULFAE, an adult who shifts genders and ferocity with the phases of the moon! Add to this a religious zealot of a biological mother, a dwarf-sized best friend, a suspicious town Priest, and a past filled with mystery and this is one childhood you have to see to believe! And this is just the beginning as questions abound - where did Tazio come from? Why is he in this villa? Is he really the Anti-Christ? Who are THE ULFAE? ARMAGEDDONQUEST begins with 52 PAGES of non-stop comix storytelling glory!
