Next Wednesday June 26 AHOY Comics will publish the fifth issue of THE GIMMICK, the latest installment of the Coen Brothers–style dark comedy about the wrestling world from writer Joanne Starer (Sirens of the City; Away From Here), artist Gogou (Quests Aside), colorist Andy Troy, letterer Rob Steen, and editor Tom Peyer.
THE GIMMICK #5
(W) Joanne Starer
(A) Gogou
Cover: Erica Henderson
A new bodyslamming issue of the “darkly comedic wrestling tragedy that doubles as a road trip story, taking aim at racism and corporate greed along the way.” (comicbook.com). Fugitive wrestler Shane is counting on his mask to get him through Fan Slam 5—where everyone angry at him, betrayed by him, looking to use him, and/or seeking to arrest him is also headed. Featuring the usual mix of AHOY backup stories and illustrations!
