As tensions between world powers escalate to the inevitability of World War II, another war already rages: between the forces of white and black magic. As Nazi occultists race to unlock the secrets of the Hollow Earth and a lost race of super-mortals, can globetrotting aviatrix Athena Voltaire foil the Third Reich and their insidious plan to conquer the free world?
 Athena Voltaire—by Steve Bryant (writer/artist), Chad Fidler (color artist), Jason Millet (color artist) and Molly McBride (editor) —is published by Ape Entertainment. In 2002, Athena Voltaire launched online. AV ran on the web for a couple of years at various sites in the ModernTales.com family, and was honored with an Eisner Award nomination (Best Digital Comic, 2004) and by being included in St. Martin's "The Year's Best Graphic Novels, Comics & Manga" (2004 edition). In early 2006, AV debuted in print at Speakeasy Comics. 30 days later, Speakeasy Comics folded up shop. These two events are not—I repeat *NOT*— related. Now, we're thrilled to make our home at Ape Entertainment! The Collected Webcomics and our initial print miniseries, Flight of the Falcon, for which Steve Bryant received a Russ Manning "Most Promising Newcomer" nomination at the 2007 Eisner Awards, are in stores now. And Athena Voltaire returns in February, 2009, with the Black Coat Athena Voltaire One-Shot!  Two Pulp-tastic Heroes. Two Complete Stories. Two Centuries. Two Dollars! Find out what a Revolutionary-era Crusader and 1930's Aviatrix have in common, besides their status as two of Ape's most exciting heroes! An adventure spanning two centuries: from The Black Coat facing down a pirate attack to Athena Voltaire encountering the horrifying consequences of the treasure they sought. The two variant covers by Eisner-award nominee Steve Bryant combine to form a poster image! It's an action-packed crossover 150 years in the making!

In late 2009, Ape Comics will release Athena Voltaire and the Volcano Goddess, a 2-issue mini-series by Steve Bryant (writer/artist) and Jason Millet (colors). “...Imagine if the likes of The Mummy and Van Helsing were actually, you know, good.” — Warren Ellis writer/co-creator of Planetary, The Authority, Transmetropolitan and more "Athena Voltaire is just my kind of glorious pulp epic. A comic lover's comic book if there ever was one, full of everything that makes comic books worth loving." — Matt Fraction writer/co-creator Casanova, Five Fists of Science "A glance at Athena Voltaire could simply paint her as a female Indiana Jones but that shortchanges the atmospheric details that Steve Bryant and company have captured on the page. You don't just read this story, you practically fall into the panels and have the adventure with her." - Tad Stones Producer, Hellboy Animated “…the next best thing to finding a trove of long-lost adventures from the 1930s.” – Javiar Grillo-Marxuach Writer/producer, Lost, Co-Creator, The Middleman "A terrific pulp adventure story with great pacing, interesting plot twists and solid dialogue combined with simply beautiful artwork equals something we would sell armloads and armloads of. ..I would like a trade paperback of Athena Voltaire to sell in my store, please. The sooner the better." — James Sime owner, Isotope: The Comic Book Lounge "Athena Voltaire is a wonderful pulp throwback. A return to the heady days of the adventure comic. Swords, guns, airplanes, sand, jungles, dens of villainy, conspirators, cutthroats, treasure, and all 36"- 24"- 36" of the most dangerous woman in the genre." —Tim Bradstreet cover artist of The Punisher, Hellblazer "Manly story tellin', beautiful art and and enough butt kickin' to keep a boot factory in business for life. Athena Voltaire is your ticket to clobberin' evil." — Beau Smith writer of Guy Gardner: Warrior, Wyonna Earp, Cobb: Off the Leash "Steve Bryant and company resurrect the classic era of high adventure in Athena Voltaire. With stylish storytelling and gorgeous rendering, they make a genre that has in recent years been relegated to the back shelves of entertainment fun and compelling again. I can't wait to see what they and Athena have in store for us." — Mark Schultz creator of Xenozoic Tales, writer of Superman, Man of Steel and Prince Valiant, illustrator of Conan of Cimmeria. "Is it sick for a man to love a comic strip character? Too damn bad, because I'm already in love with Athena Voltaire! If loving Athena is wrong, I don't want to be right!" —Mike W. Barr co-creator/writer of The Maze Agency, Camelot 3000, The Outsiders, writer of Batman, Detective Comics. "Athena Voltaire packs its pages with beautifully depicted and well told tales of adventure and historical hijinks. It's a perfect blend of pulp excitement and modern storytelling. I can't get enough.” — Bryan Deemer host, Comic Geek Speak "Athena Voltaire is an amazing adventure series. It captures the feel of vintage 1930's Republic serial film cliffhangers, with a stylized look and action budget they could only dream about." —John Siuntres Host, Word Balloon "Athena Voltaire mixes the best parts of classic matinee with modern storytelling. Athena Voltaire is a guilty pleasure that you should never feel guilty about reading." — Christopher Neseman Host, Around Comics athena_voltaire_comic's BulletinsDisplaying 1-2 of 2 bulletins...
