“I couldn't be more ecstatic to have Code Word: Geronimo out to stores and in readers’ hands,” said editor Tom Waltz. “It's been an incredible journey with this graphic novel -- from its initial conception to its release -- and I've been proud to be a part of the process every step of the way, to include the opportunity now to share it with the rest of the world. I truly believe this is a special book.”
A portion of the proceeds from CODE WORD: GERONIMO will be donated to the American Veterans Center, a charity supporting military veterans. CODE WORD: GERONIMO is in stores now.
