“The first time I was published in the USA was in the magazine Heavy\u00a0Metal. I was 22 years old… Years later and after working on movies\u00a0and TV shows in Los Angeles I briefly worked for\u00a0Marvel<\/i>\u00a0and\u00a0IDW<\/i>,” said series creator\u00a0Elgo<\/b>, “However, my French albums have never been translated into English.\u00a0Today I am excited and happy to have the opportunity to be read by a\u00a0wider audience thanks to Titan Comics.\u00a0I hope that people\u00a0will see something artistically attractive or interesting in the\u00a0spirit of my mentor Jean Moebius Giraud.”<\/p>\n

“As a lifelong fan of Moebius, who was already familiar with Yacine’s work, it’s a privilege to finally bring\u00a0Factory<\/i>\u00a0to the US market,” said\u00a0Statix Press<\/i>\u00a0brand manager Chris Thompson, “At\u00a0Statix Press<\/i>\u00a0we try to team international creators with\u00a0artists that readers are already familiar with, which is why Simon\u00a0Bisley was a no-brainer for this first issue cover. His stunning art\u00a0complements Elgo’s, and gives fans an idea of what to expect from the\u00a0series.”<\/p>\n

Factory<\/i>\u00a0Issue #1 is available to order now from Diamond\u2019s current January edition of Diamond Previews Catalogue.<\/p>\n
