LIGHTS, CAMERA, SUPER HERO ACTION!
Simon Williams has had his ups and down, from being manipulated into villainy by the Enchantress, to being one of the brightest stars in the Avengers! But just like Hollywood, no matter how low the lows, Simon keeps fighting the good fight! But what happens when the past finally catches up to him? Enter Randolph Chancellor: Simon’s former cellmate! A true love letter to L.A. as well as the history of Wonder Man!
“Wonder Man has always been a favorite of mine, and so’s Mark Buckingham,” Duggan shared. “To be able to collaborate with one of the kings of comics and a true gentleman has been a thrill and a privilege. Simon Williams dreams of Hollywood, and his city and show business has had a rough go of it. Join us for a very special debut, starring Wonder Man, his chosen family and the one he was born into. This one’s going to be special.”
“It is has been a delight to dive into Wonder Man’s world for this brand new solo series and a pleasure to work with Gerry Duggan,” Buckingham said. “Simon is a good man, who doesn’t always make the best choices. He takes care of his family and friends… but often to his own detriment. Especially when it comes to Randolph Chancellor.
“It has been fun designing a distinctive look for this book that will help ground us in Hollywood as Simon Williams revisits his LA life,” he continued. “There is action, adventure, a little bit of romance, and a lot of laughs.
