Fraction, Dodson And Dodson On New High-Octane Pulp Action Series ‘Adventureman’ From Image

by Olly MacNamee

Matt Fraction. Terry Dodson. Rachel Dodson. On a new comic books series from Image Comics.
Do I need to write anymore than that?
Well, I suppose I should, just to flesh out to you all what this new comic book, with the most misleading of titles – Adventureman –  will be all about, beyond being a sure fire hit that is:

The story of beloved pulp hero “Adventureman” ended with a never-resolved cliff-hanger for his legion of fans as their hero faced execution at the vile hand of his ultra-nemesis “Baron Bizarre.” And now, eighty years later, single mother Claire and her Adventurefan son Tommy seem to be the only two people alive that remember the thrilling Adventureman sagas… but from that memory burns the spark of… resurrection. What if it was all true? What if it all really happened? And what if it was happening again? Where his story ended… her story begins!
Blending high-octane pulp action, low-flying dirigibles and more art-deco rayguns than you could shake a walking stick at, Adventureman kicks off with a 64 page issue filled to the brim with action and intrigue for the introductory cover price of $3.99.

So, that’s Fraction, the Dodsons and 64 pages of comic for under four bucks? Sold!
Coming this April, we have a first look at this new book below:
