Founded by Mark Alessi and Gina M Villa at the turn of the century, Crossgen Comics boasted an impressive array of characters and creators.
However, the Florida-based outfit imploded in 2004 amidst animosity between management and the creative talent.
Crossgen's roster of comics included fantasy series such as Meridian and Sigil and retro-future adventure in Ruse and SF action with Negation.
Now two of the Crossgen series are back courtesy of Marvel Comics. Sigil, a four-issue mini-series, returns in March from British writer Mike Carey with art by Leonard Kirk.
The New York Times best-selling scribe has re-imagined Sigil. A 16-year-old girl from south Carolina discovers the mystical sigil on her body and becomes embroiled in a time-spanning conflict.
Ruse is the second Crossgen character to pitch up at Marvel. Written by creator Mark Waid with art by Mirco Pierfederici, Ruse is the tale of Simon Archard - the greatest detective of the Victorian era.
The new four-issue Ruse sees Archard squaring up to the enigmatic and enchanting Emma Bishop. Ruse 1 ships in March.
