Comic book creator and legend Kevin Maguire has been working in the industry for almost four decades, making his indelible mark in such books as the Justice League umbrella of books, Who’s Who, Star Trek, Power Man and Iron Fist, and so many more. And now, through a Kickstarter with Rocketship Entertainment, one of his most wild, hilarious, and otherworldly stories is being collected in one 130-page volume for the first time!
Tanga vs. the Kaiju of Cammera originally appeared in two parts, with the first story printed in Weird Worlds and the second in My Greatest Adventures, both published by DC Comics. As the Kickstarter describes Tanga and her story:
Join Tanga, an alien with massive powers on a cosmic scale, as she travels the universe looking for “simple creature comforts.”
Upon arriving on the planet Cammera, Tanga soon takes on the task of keeping the planet’s inhabitants safe from the kaiju monsters that have begun to appear in frighteningly frequent numbers. She does this all while trying NOT to take the head off of Cammera’s other protector – the egotistical Za!
As of this publication, the Kickstarter for Tanga vs. the Kaiju of Cammera has reached its goal more than seven times over, with all stretch goals unlocked and 15 days left in the campaign. Check out one of Kevin Maguire’s most engaging works, collected in one sprawling tome for the first time!

Tanga vs the Kaiju of Cammera brings together for the first time the two stories told in DC Comics’ Weird Worlds and My Greatest Adventure series. Join Tanga, an alien with massive powers on a cosmic scale, as she travels the universe looking for “simple creature comforts.”

The goal of the Kickstarter is to get the comic formatted for print and into your hands as quickly as possible! The more we raise the more stretch goals are unlocked and the more add-ons we can offer. The stretch goals and add-ons will be revealed as the campaign progresses and when they unlock we’ll reveal the next ones. We think everyone will be pleasantly surprised by each!
So, what am I getting for my pledge? All backers at the $24 tier will receive the softcover graphic novel, printed at a kaiju sized 7.64×11.6″ – approximately 130 pages of content! As with all Rocketship books, we print on the highest quality paper with deluxe cover finishes that include french flaps on softcovers with anti-scratch matte finishes and spot UV, and 4C endpage printing on hardcovers with additional foil stamping.
