Expedition Sasquatch: The Game Boy Color Game brings the absurd and hilarious world of the beloved narrative fiction podcast to your handheld console! Developed by Mountain Town Toys, this retro-style adventure puts you in the boots of Jack (voiced in the podcast by Josh Allen), a hapless bigfoot hunter whose expeditions never go as planned.

Set in the strange and unpredictable wilderness, the game follows Jack as he stumbles upon bizarre creatures, eccentric locals, and baffling mysteries: everything except the elusive Sasquatch he’s searching for. (He’s in there somewhere, probably, but I don’t think anyone has caught him yet.)

“THE MYSTERIOUS AIR PIRATES #1 – NOW BOARDING!”

A dime novel for the modern age, rooted in the rebellious spirit of the 1910s

Mountain Town Comics is proud to launch The Mysterious Air Pirates #1—a handcrafted story paper that channels the subversive energy of early 20th-century pulp, with a story as timely as it is historical.

The Mysterious Air Pirates is based in part on the 1915 film Filibus, and was written by Andrew Roach.

Filibus gave us cinema’s first genderfluid antiheroes – a sky pirate who moves effortlessly between masculine and feminine disguises while outwitting authorities. But what makes Filibus truly radical isn’t just the protagonist’s fluid identity; it’s the sheer joy of their rebellion.

This isn’t a dour revolutionary, but a charismatic trickster who steals from the rich with a wink, turning heists into performance art and authority into a punchline. That spirit of revolutionary joy – where resistance feels less like obligation and more like the best game in town – lives at the heart of The Mysterious Air Pirates.

Like the early pulp creators, we believe escapism and politics aren’t opposites. The original Filibus smuggled queer subtext into mainstream entertainment; our Mysterious Air Pirates carries that tradition forward, blending swashbuckling adventure with working-class solidarity. The most dangerous stories aren’t those that lecture, they’re the ones that make you root for the thief, cheer for the outlaw, and question why we’re so quick to side with law and order in the first place.

Inside This Issue:
✒ A genderfluid sky pirate captain leading a crew of outcasts and rebels
✒ A cover collage and interior layouts by Andrew Roach, meticulously designed to emulate pre-war dime novels
✒ A tale of revolutionary joy and worker solidarity

Order now (ships when we get back from the Designer Art Toy Festival August 10)!

BLAST OFF WITH SPACEHAWK: OUR NEW RETRO ACTION FIGURE TAKES FLIGHT!

We’re thrilled to introduce our latest handcrafted tribute to comic book history—the Spacehawk 3.75″ Retro Action Figure, inspired by Basil Wolverton’s iconic 1940s cosmic hero!

MEET THE SOLAR SYSTEM’S TOUGHEST DEFENDER

This fully articulated figure brings Wolverton’s grimacing hero to life with:
✔ Jointed limbs for dynamic mid-space battle poses
✔ Removable plastic belt and grappling hook (essential for boarding enemy ships)
✔ Hand-painted details—each one unique, just like Wolverton’s inky, energetic art
✔ Eco-conscious PAL material (our PVC-free vinyl substitute) with 20% recycled HDPE

Designed to slot perfectly beside your vintage Star Wars or Mego figures, this is Golden Age heroism, reimagined for modern collectors.

WHY SPACEHAWK? WHY NOW?

In a world of mass-produced plastic, we’re proud to:

  • Keep it small-batch (every figure touched by human hands in Ellijay, GA)
  • Honor Wolverton’s legacy (his anti-fascist space hero feels eerily relevant today)
  • Push sustainable toys (no PVC, partially post consumer recycled, entirely recyclable)

PAIR WITH MOUNTAIN TOWN COMICS #3

Launch your Spacehawk into action alongside our new comic reissue, featuring:

  • A classic Spacehawk story (Wolverton at his pulpy best)
  • Al Ulmer’s bizarre Microface tale (because every space hero needs an Earthbound counterpart)

SEE THEM IN PERSON!

We’ll be debuting both the figure and comic at the Designer Toy Art Festival (Aug 9-10, Philadelphia)—come geek out over vintage comics and sustainable toys with us!

Pre-orders open now. Follow us on Instagram or Mastodon for more.
