Once upon a time, the character Hip Flask first appeared in a number of advertisements for Comicraft comic book fonts in the late nineties, as a hippopotamus private detective. He was created by Richard Starkings when he failed to get permission from Marvel or DC to use their characters in his ads.
He later graduated to his own series of three one-shots by Richard Starkings , Joe Casey and Ladrönn, published from Comicraft and Active Images. A monthly series called Elephantmen was published by Image Comics in 2006 and focused on other human/animal hybrids, as well as Hip Flask, publishing over ninety issues and twenty collections since, but then things ended.
'22 years ago, long before crowd-funding, long before social media, I published the first issue of Elephantmen, Hip Flask: Unnatural Selection, under the Comicraft imprint. Now it's time to go back to basics and for Comicraft to publish a new bumper issue of Elephantmen on Kickstarter!' says creator and writer Richard Starkings.
