It is the mission of Red 5 Comics to produce smart, fun-filled comics that bring joy to comic readers of any age. In the tradition of titles like Eisner-nominated Atomic Robo and YALSA-winning We Kill Monsters, comes the all-new exploits of the under-sized and over-personalitied Bodie Troll.
In the fairytale village of Hagadorn lurks Bodie Troll, a fuzzy little grump who wants to be big and scary, but is doomed to be cute and cuddly. But what Bodie lacks in terror he makes up for in mischief. Silly and suspenseful adventures await just beyond his bridge!
Bodie Troll is the creation of cartoonist Jay P. Fosgitt, the writer and artist for such graphic novels as Little Green Men, Dino Duck and Old McMonster’s Haunted Farm. His whimsical art style graced Dreamworks Animation Magazine and the book Team Cul De Sac: Cartoonists Draw the Line at Parkinson’s.
Bodie will be introduced to Red 5 Comic’s largest-ever audience as he will share pages with Atomic Robo in this May’s Free Comic Book Day issue. Retailers will want to have copies of Bodie Troll #1 on hand for the event.
As Red 5 is an independent publisher, the best way to ensure your copy of Bodie Troll this spring is to pre-order it before February 28 from your comic shop using order code FEB131119. “Bonnie Lass #1” of the four-issue series is a spotlight item in July’s Diamond Preview catalog and set for release on April 17, 2013 for just $2.99.
