Does Anybody have any Dark-Key comic logos that I could use for a bind?
Does Anybody have any Dark-Key comic logos that I could use for a bind (Titles and circular logos). Also looking for the synopsis’s of the unpublished comics (I have the unused cover images).
I can always scan them, but if somebody already has them it would be a lot easier.

Re: Does Anybody have any Dark-Key comic logos that I could use for a bind?
In case anybody was wondering what I was doing. I have bound the Dark-Key books via smythe sewing, and created a prelimary file for insert pages and table of contents. I have the images to the unpublished comics, but not the high level synopsis that was used to solicit the stories. If anybody has those I would love to have them too for the bind. Or even better the scripts of the stories to add to the bind.
Also, looking for a hi-res image of the old gold key logo. Can’t find any hi-res on the internet
The file in the link below is still in draft form, but I am getting closer

I wish Dark Horse had continued publishing these. I didnt catch them when they came out but once I read them I thought were really fun. I especially enjoyed Turok.

Here are the synopses for Turoks 5 and 6. The original Previews entries are gone, but fortunately, I had taken screencaps of them years ago.

Re: Does Anybody have any Dark-Key comic logos that I could use for a bind?
Here's Greg's logo after some sharpening.....
It looks much better if you further scale it down to 500px (or less) of height. I don't think you need it that big anyway.
And here's the pink/yellow version....

The year is 4000 CE. The military is useless. The police are incompetent. Magnus, the mighty Robot Fighter, stands alone against an army of rebel Q-ROBs led by clever, canny, capable Jocko and his hench-robs. It's a battle to extinction-one-way or the other. And in this issue's second feature, the origin saga of 1-A, the first Robot Fighter, continues. The year is 3979 CE. Rebel Q-Robs led by H-8 overwhelm North Am. Then 1-A in Battle Armor takes the field . . .

IIRC, Starbrand was very involved at the launch of Dark Key and put together some pretty involved fan projects. I bet he may have some material you may want to include in your bind.

IDK, according to the old dark-key.com website there hadn't been (m)any Dark Key related fan projects except for the fan page itself.

Re: Does Anybody have any Dark-Key comic logos that I could use for a bind?
Dang that sucks that we didn't get this second Magnus arc with the '0' issue backup. The Q-Rob arc would've been a cool parallel to the Valiant Steel Nation, and would've been great to see Shooter's new take on Magnus' origin.Sunlight on Snow wrote: ↑Wed Aug 26, 2020 7:36:22 am MAGNUS, ROBOT FIGHTER #5

Another of the many bad decisions made by Dark Horse (or Jim) was to start Magnus and Solar with lighter, inconsequential 4 issue arcs that established the characters and setting with somewhat routine storylines. Would've been better (in hindsight) to launch right into the origins and bigger 'Dark Key' metastory that was only hinted at. I think Jim probably felt he would have more issues to build it up and get there.
Found this on Jesse Delperdang's comic art page, page 1 from Magnus '0':
