Welcome to Wham Bang Comics' new blog!
Following is a repeat of a recent column:
You may see us soon. This is my repeat of an update about Wham Bang Comics' inaugural issue, Two-Fisted Adventures 1.
It's just about finished -- art, writing, the whole shebang. But everything remains an "if" right now. IF all goes well, we could be on the racks at comic book stores by early next near.
That depends on Diamond Comic Distributors picking our first comic up for distribution. If they do, we will take out a pretty healthy ad in their catalogue and hopefully be in the hands of young people across the United States by February!
If Diamond doesn't pick us up, we will have to regroup and figure out how to get our product out there. But I have high hopes that whatever happens we will prevail.
As a comics reader, I think it's time that new superhero mythologies were created. I think that recycling established characters decade over decade is great for fans like me, but I'm worried that the kids of today don't have any heroes of their own generation to inspire them.
With my son Jake's character Night Owl, I have faith that will change. Jake is only 12, but the influences he brings to his writing -- with my help and coaching -- is unlike most of the superhero stuff you'll see today.
Not to mention our powerhouse writers Chris Blaine, Pmanuel Alvear and Casey Columbus. This fabulous trio have gone out of their way to write great superhero or horror stories that I predict will have a great impact.
If only we can get this comic to your hot sweaty hands through Diamond's distribution. Hope, hope, hope. Pray, pray, pray.
The first issue of Two-Fisted will be 50 pages, cost between $4.99 and $5.99 and be in full color. It's a total labor of love from start to finish and I hope our future readers enjoy looking at it as much as we enjoyed writing and drawing it.
We're about to send our comic to Diamond by mail for their evaluation.
Keep your fingers crossed that they'll decide to pick us up. Maybe you'll see us in your comic stores soon.
Hope, hope, hope. Pray, pray, pray.
Sincerely,
BEN TINSLEY
publisher, Wham Bang Comics
