Kurt Emminger

Kurt Emminger made his entrance in the pages of StormQuest #2 in 1994, a Caliber Press title that arrived right at the creative frontier of the independent comics boom. Brought to life by the writing team of Tom and Mary Bierbaum — veterans with serious comics pedigree — and penciler Greg Land early in his career, Kurt is a compact piece of early Modern Age independent storytelling. His world is a vivid one, sharing pages with characters like Shrike, Barricade, and Shalimar across this short-lived but spirited series. With only five catalog appearances tied to a 1994–1995 run, Kurt Emminger is exactly the kind of deep-cut discovery that makes indie comics archaeology so rewarding.
