First Look: ‘The Sire: Origins’ Announced For Summer 2023

Dren Productions has announced The Sire: Origins, written, lettered and colored by Michael Dolce, with art by Daniel Leister and a cover by Talent Caldwell. This never-before-collected edition contains remastered images as well as new bonus content.

‘Not all costumes are a perfect fit…

Donald Wright woke up trapped inside a superhero costume. Bestowed with amazing powers, he’s forced to battle villains against his will. Now Donald must find out why the how and why he was chosen for danger.’

“From a script perspective, this was when the book started writing itself,” said Dolce. “As a writer, that’s the groove you want to be in, when the characters start talking to you. Moreover, the sequence was artist Dan Leister’s favorite in the book. He even inspired me to use the “I hate you so bad line” when he’s falling off the building. Our collaboration was the key to this book’s early success.”

“The Sire has been and will always be my baby,” Dolce continued. “To me, it’s as much homage to the comics I grew up reading as it’s me exploring and trying to break new ground at the same time—the passion and love I have for these characters and this superhero universe I’ve created is very present. By the end of each issue, I want readers feeling as at home and mesmerized by these characters and storylines as I am.”

Originally published by After Hours Press, The Sire: Origins collects the first three issues of the series and hits shops June 28th.
