MICHAEL MIDAS CHAMPION is the inspirational life story of Michael Midas, who, as told by a grandmother to her grandson, grows from being a boy—dealing with a playground crush stolen from him by a tormenting bully—into a crimson hero who dons a mask and battles evil, particularly the bully of his youth, who has, naturally, become his supervillain arch-nemesis. Through his triumphs and trials, Michael becomes a superhero so dedicated that he loses touch of what’s important in life—his loved ones—puttting them and the whole Earth on a path to complete destruction. But given a rare second chance, can Michael Midas Champion set things right? Will he?
“I cooked up Michael Midas Champion with all of my favorite illustrated storytelling ingredients: action, adventure, drama, mythos, suspense, romance, horror, redemption, drool-inducing art and most of all, heart and soul. My fondest hope is that fans will read it and fall in love with comics again like it’s their first time,” said Gorfinkel.
