The first Heroic comic available, ALTER EGO #1 is priced at only 99 cents. Created by legendary writer and editor Roy Thomas, with co-writer Dann Thomas and artist Ron Harris, ALTER EGO is the story of teenager Rob Lindsay, who finds a magic mask that transports him to a world where comic book super-heroes of the Golden Age are real. Drawing upon Roy Thomas' experience a co-founder of comics fandom and as the top writer of characters of the 1940s at Marvel and DC, the landmark series celebrated its twenty-fifth anniversary in 2012 with a brand new issue (#5) which paid homage to the crime comics of the 1950s.
"We're definitely looking forward to working with ComiXology, and eventually bringing our entire line of classic comics, as well as new upcoming issues to a new audience of digital comic book readers" said Heroic publisher Dennis Mallonee.
