Thanks to you for your interest in the Actionopolis book line. We're
very pleased to report that the first four books are set to arrive in
comics shops on Wednesday, September 27th.
Each book is a beautiful, hardcover edition featuring the writing and
illustration of some of the top names in comics, animation, film, video
games and literature. The books feature heroic action adventure stories
geared towards 9-12 year-old readers.
We've received a steady flow of written praise from professional
storytellers, librarians, parents and, most importantly, kids.
"Response to this first wave of Actionopolis books has been
phenomenal," said Komikwerks co-founder Shannon Eric Denton. "Between
the positive reaction from librarians and kids, the Hollywood producers
who have been inquiring, and the sheer joy of getting these books in
stores, everyone at Actionopolis is amped."
If you shop for the book in comics stores, you'll be among the first to
be able to purchase them. Titles arriving Wednesday include:
* " The Forest King" written by Dan Mishkin (creator of "Blue
Devil" and "Amethyst")and illustrated by Tom Mandrake ("Batman" and
"The Spectre")
* "What I did on my Hypergalactic, Interstellar Summer Vacation "
written by Adam Beechen ("Robin" and "Justice League Unlimited") and
illustrated by Dan Hipp ("The Amazing Joy Buzzards")
* "Heir to Fire" written by Rob M. Worley ("Young Ancient One" and
"Advent Rising") and illustrated by Mike Dubisch ("Dungeons & Dragons")
* "Spirit of the Samurai" written by Gary Reed ("Renfield" and
"Saint Germaine") and illustrated by Rick Hoberg ("Star Wars" and
"Ultimate Avengers II")
"Shannon, I, and all the talented writers and artists have worked
extremely hard to produce some well-written, dynamically illustrated,
fun stories for boys, girls, grown-ups, comic fans...heck, EVERYONE can
enjoy the Actionopolis books! I can't wait to see readers' reactions!"
said Komikwerks co-founder Patrick Coyle.
The second wave of Actionopolis titles is set to ship in October. This
round includes:

("Easy Way" and "X-Men Unlimited") with illustrations by Michael Geiger
(EIDOS games)
