Posted on by Leave a comment

Mad Cave Studios is joining forces with—or being invaded by?—the Weekly World News team to present a 6-issue comic book series beginning this December. Written by Ken Kristensen, Steven Paul Judd, and tvli, with artwork by M.K. Perker, colors by Dee Cunniffe, and letters by Taylor Esposito, the first issue of this series boasts covers by Perker, Tom Fowler, Declan Shalvey, and Maria Wolf. And now, Mad Cave can reveal brand new Bill Sienkiewicz cover art for issue #1 as well, available in both a cardstock variant and a virgin (no title dress) cardstock variant.

HELL TOUPEE!

A workplace comedy that blends X-Files intrigue with the irreverance of It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia. The son of one of the most respected journalists in history joins the misfits at the notorious tabloid famous for headlines like “Elvis-is-Alive!,” “Bigfoot Sex Slave!,” and “Florida Mafia Hires Vampire to Kill O.J.!” In the first issue: a conspiracy so deep it may have cracked the ceiling of Hell!

Weekly World News #1 (of 6) goes on sale December 2, 2026. Final order cut-off for retailers is November 9, 2026. Each 32-page issue retails for $4.99, and the Sienkiewicz cardstock cover and virgin cardstock variant, as well as the foil variant of Fowler’s cover will retail for $7.99 each.

  • Comic book cover featuring two characters, a woman with a camera and a man in an orange coat, crouching together in front of colorful tabloid headlines.
  • Cover of 'Weekly World News' comic issue #1 featuring two men in suits, one holding a camera and another pointing a gun, with a chaotic background of bizarre creatures and eerie illustrations.

  • Comic book cover for 'Weekly World News' featuring two characters, one holding a camera and the other pointing a gun, with various fantastical creatures and monsters in the background.

Steven Paul Judd, Ken Kristensen, and Tvli Jacob take on Weekly World News for Mad Cave Studios

Posted on by

Mad Cave Studios has announced that Marvel Studios writers Steven Paul Judd and Ken Kristensen along with feature writer Tvli Jacob are set to adapt tales from the legendary tabloid newspaper Weekly World News.

The comic book series is currently in production with Eisner-nominated comic book artist M.K. Perker and a TV series based on the comic is in early stages of development. 

A cultural phenomenon, Weekly World News is notorious for its outrageous headlines.

Where X-Files meets It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia, the series follows the dysfunctional lives of a young Weekly World News journalist and a seasoned photojournalist as they investigate stories inspired by actual articles published in the paper over the decades. As funny as it is thrilling, the characters’ search for the truth leads them to uncover bizarre mutants, unexplained phenomena, epic world secrets, and supernatural realities. The drama of their weird and wild encounters are only rivaled by the eccentric personal relationships at the office and their volatile family dynamics at home.

The Rez Detectives Are on the Case! A New Graphic Novel from Steven Paul Judd, Tvli Jacob, and M.K. Perker and Literati Press

Posted on by

The Rez Detectives is a ground-breaking, middle-grade graphic novel from Steven Paul Judd, Tvli Jacob, and M.K. Perker, published by Literati Press Comics & Novels and available through Diamond Comic Distributors, GlobalComix, and Comixology on December 8, 2021. In the tradition of Harriet the Spy, Encyclopedia Brown, and yes, Scooby-Doo, comes the first case for the Rez Detectives: “Justice Served Cold.”

Judd and IllumiNative, a native-led nonprofit that works to increase the visibility of Native peoples in American society, will supply free copies of Rez Detectives to all public and reservation libraries in Alaska and North and South Dakota.

It’s a hot summer on the Reservation. When the Ice Cream Man is a no-show, Tasembo joins forces with his neighbor, Nuseka, and his dog, Billy Jack, to take on their first case. With twists around every corner, this case won’t crack itself, but when you combine Nuseka’s brains, Billy Jack’s loyalty, and Tasembo’s . . . persistence, justice will be served. Cold, that is.
