In time for the first major weekend for alt-comics events, Chris Pitzer of AdHouse Books announced earlier today that his company will release Gigant, by Danish creator Rune Ryberg, in September 2015.

Pitzer describes his latest announced book as "a color-saturated, action-packed fantasy-comedy... The hero -- Gigant -- is thrown into a bizarre journey within another dimension in an attempt to rescue his girlfriend who has been swallowed by a thousand-eyed monster."

Ryberg's site describes the cartoonist as being in his mid-thirties and a 2008 graduate of Denmark's Animation Workshop. He splits time between comics and animation projects.

The book will four colors, 80 pages, at a 6x9 size. It will retail for $14.95.

Gigant was published in Danish by Forlaens.

Ryberg will attend this weekend's MoCCA Arts Festival in New York City. Pitzer says plans are underway to have the artist come back to the US for the Small Press Expo and the book's formal festival debut.

There is a preview of the book here.
