James Rodriguez Takes QUANTUM" On An Even Wilder Ride.

New York Artist Takes On Sci-Fi/Musical Comic Book Epic.

(PRWEB) April 3, 2004 --James Rodriguez makes his debut as regular series penciller in QUANTUM: ROCK OF AGES #3, from Dreamchilde Press. This bimonthly independent comic has already garnered much critical praise, and the new art direction promises to exceed the high standard of excellence in storytelling and originality set by its previous issues. While navigating the mysterious waters of the time/space continuum, QUANTUM also pokes fun at pop culture in various alternate universes.

Described as "Sliders" meets "High Fidelity," QUANTUM follows the adventures of Nick Vargas, a jaded musician turned record-store owner. Due to a Nazi experiment gone awry in an alternate reality, Nick is unwittingly taken on the ultimate cross-time thrill ride. His goal is to reassemble the Quantum Silica--an ancient and powerful artifact that has been split into seven fragments--in order to repair time and space before they fade from existence. Each unique character in QUANTUM discovers a fragment of the bizarre gemstone embedded into their bodies. These fragments of the Quantum" sphere offer a unique power to each of them, and need to be reassembled before Nick can return to his record store reality. The longer it takes Nick and his counterparts to do this, the more alternate realities start to blink into oblivion, one universe at a time.

A Queens native and also member of the Comic Art Guild, James Rodriguez brings to QUANTUM a level of quality that creator Philip Clark has been seeking since its inception. James is a total pro. His attention to detail and command of perspective blows anything that weve done previously in QUANTUM out of the water. Its been a pleasure working with him. I really feel like he has a passion for the story and the characters that is more in line with my initial vision for the project."

Rodriguez says, This is definitely one of the best experiences Ive had in creating comics so far. Philips characters are fun to draw, and his plot and concept are really engaging. Besides, eventually were going to have two hot girls in the book time traveling around the multiverse; what more could a guy ask for?"

QUANTUM: ROCK OF AGES #3, published by Dreamchilde Press, hits comic book specialty shops April 21st. QUANTUM: ROCK OF AGES #4 is available for ordering in the April issue of Diamond Comics Distributors Previews" catalog (Order #APR042589 32-page black and white comic book w/ wrap-around cover by James Rodriguez and Jackie Teixeira, $2.99)
