It's 1984 - Reaganomics are in full swing, Herbie Hancock ruled the first MTV Music Video Awards, movie-goers met The Ghostbusters and The Terminator, Indira Ghandi was assassinated, B.A. Baracus pitied fools, and a third rate cosmetics company single-handedly destroyed civilization. Is Judith, a 17-year-old chain smoking delinquent humanity's last hope?
"When I got hooked on comics in 1980 I quickly found that the best titles were relegated to the 25 cent box. Creepy, Tales From The Crypt, and Ghostly Tales were my favorites, but they never went far enough," explained Roenning. "ALPHA GIRL has been a chance to not only quench my blood lust, but to do it with a kick ass heroine."
"As a child of the 1980's, it has been a blast drawing a comic that takes place during my formative years," said Love. "The Adidas track suits, big hair, and the '80's rock 'n' roll and hip hop - I'm definitely having fun!"
"I cut class my sophomore year of high school to go hang out, smoke cigarettes, and check out girls. I ended up watching a movie called Evil Dead 2. When I saw that flick I had found my calling in life," added Bonjour. "When Roenning approached me with the concept of a cosmetic company turning all women into man-eaters, with a kick ass protagonist like Judith, I was all in. If you're like me and a fan of the zombie horror genre when the lead character has a flash of attitude, you are in for a hell of a ride."
A sneak peek to ALPHA GIRL will be at the back of HACK/SLASH #11, which hits stores December 28. ALPHA GIRL #1 will hits stores and digital platforms in February.
