Fighting American To Debut On Joe Simon’s Birthday With Terry Dodson Cover!
To celebrate Simon & Kirby’s legendary patriot hero, Fighting American, returning to comics Titan Comics‘ new series debuts on October 11, 2017 – the date of Joe Simon’s birthday, and also during the Kirby centennial year – with an incredible cover by fan-favorite artists, Terry Dodson and Rachel Dodson!
Hard times require hard heroes and in Titan Comics’ all-new series, written by Gordon Rennie with artwork by Duke Mighten, the original patriot superhero returns with faithful sidekick, Speedboy!
First published in May 1954 and originally written and drawn by two of the greatest names in the history of comics, Joe Simon and Jack Kirby, Fighting American was the embodiment of the homegrown, god-fearing, patriotic, apple pie-eating American superhero.
Where Simon and Kirby’s other patriotic hero, Captain America, socked it to the Nazis in World War II, Fighting American brought square-jawed justice to “the Commies” and villains such as Double Header, Hotsky Trotsky, and Round Robin!
Throughout their long partnership, Simon and Kirby helped revolutionize the comics industry from ground-breaking adventure comics to pioneering romance titles, westerns, crime comics and of course superheroes – a genre they helped to shape and define for generations to come.
With Fighting American, they brought a tongue-in-cheek irreverence to the world of two-fisted action and its mix of outlandish, satirical humor went on to establish Fighting American as a true American hero.
More details on this thrilling new title is coming soon.
The first issue of four, Dishonored #1 takes place twelve years after the events of the critically acclaimed videogame of the same name released in 2012. The game was a brilliant blend of action and stealth game play with a surprisingly deep bad/less bad morality system that will impact how you play the game – kill everything in sight, or sneak through so that nobody ever knew you were there. It was one of the first first-person games I played and thoroughly enjoyed (I still enjoy it even now, honestly), and I’m looking forward to the sequel coming later this year.
