Hippo Fairy Tale in the works

Active Images, the innovative US comics company run by former Marvel UK talent Richard Starkings, has begun promoting an unusual fairy tale – starring hippopotamus hero, Hip Flask.

Captain Stoneheart and the Truth Fairy Hardcover by Ben 10 creator Joe Kelly and X-Men artist Chris Bachalo ships in January 2008. The 80 page book is described as "a grim but beautiful tale of Broken Bones and Broken Hearts, featuring characters created for Richard Starkings' Elephantmen series."

This special oversized hardcover edition features Bachalo's pencil artwork, Joe Kelly's full script and a special Audio CD reading of the story.
