About Henchmen the Comic:
Henchmen is a comic book about the other guys.
Gary is struggling to get by. Too old to learn a new
trade, too young to retire. Then he finds a mysterious classified ad. When he
applies in person, he finds a subversive world of henchmen for hire. Readers
will see the familiar superhero landscape from the unique perspective of those
who rarely get a voice but are always present… the Henchmen. While the
superhero is battling thesuper-villain, the henchmen are the ones loading the
loot into the van. They all have stories, they all have fears. Gary is a good
man driven to do terrible things.
Full color 48 pages $4.99. Cover by Renowned Comic Artist
Icon Dave Dorman (Star Wars, Indiana Jones)
“Henchmen was a labor of love,” Wyrick continues. “We
know a lot of folks really want to go to San Diego Comic Con and can't. We just
wanted to give them a special release to look forward to that they COULD get a
hold of!”
