Author Biography

Karl Kesel (Writer/Artist): KARL KESEL loves his job far more than he has any right to. He has written, inked, and occasionally penciled: Superman, Superboy, Harley Quinn, Spider-Man, Suicide Squad, and many others. He also created King Shark, hands down his biggest contribution to popular culture. His current obsessions are his creator-owned comics with Tom Grummett--the Jack-Kirby-does-the-X-Files-esque SECTION ZERO--and David Hahn-- the Ringo Award nominated IMPOSSIBLE JONES. He lives in Portland, Oregon with his wonderful wife Myrna, their energetic son Isaac, and cute-as-a-bug daughter Eliza. He really can't complain about much. David Hahn (Artist): DAVID HAHN has illustrated Spider-man Loves Mary Jane, Batman '66 Meets Wonder Woman '77, Midnight Western Theatre, as well as The Batman Handbook. He was nominated for both Eisner and Ignatz Awards for his creator-owned comic series Private Beach. An avid indoorsman who loves video games, David has somehow found himself living in bear and cougar country in the backwoods of Montana. Tony Avina (Colorist): TONY AVINA is a freelance illustrator, colorist and designer. Born and raised in the South Bay area of LA, he has worked for some of the greats--ranging from DC Comics (Batman, Green lantern) to Dynamite (The Boys).

Review

"...a blast, in every sense of the word. It will satisfy readers searching for not-too distant nostalgia in their comics and readers looking for a creative alternative to the usual superhero offering on the shelves these days. To sum it all up, it's a crowd pleaser."--Ricardo Denis "Graphic Policy"
"Belle proves to be an engaging protagonist that has a fair amount of nuance."--Christopher Rondeau "Major Spoilers"
"Both the writing, especially the humor, and the art are surprisingly well-balanced. There's just enough humor to make the reading fun without getting corny or campy. And the art hits the silver-age sweet spot without looking dated or silly."--Gabriel Hernandez "Comical Opinions"
