Headlocked: The first REAL wrestling comic's Blurbs |
About me:
I am the writer and creator of the wrestling comic book, Headlocked.
Mike Hartmann is a college theater major with a promising future. However, after a night at the local wrestling arena, he discovers a higher form of performance art: professional wrestling. Captivated by the pageantry and psychology behind pro wrestling, Hartmann becomes obsessed with learning its craft and making it to the top of the WFW, the largest wrestling organization in the world.
The first issue of our upcoming mini-series, Headlocked "The Tryout" is listed in the August Previews and features a painted cover by none other than WWE Hall of Famer, Jerry "The King" Lawler! This one is sure to be a collector's item!
Here are what some very respected people had to say about Headlocked!
"This is one of the best comics I’ve read all year. As a comic book reader and reviewer and as a wrestling fan, I have to encourage you to read this book. It’s extremely well done; the story is clear, coherent, easy to follow and fresh. Find this book, order it if you have to, its really worth it." -Kevin Powers, Silver Bullet Comics
“Dude. I loved the comic. I want to follow the story. Good job!” –WWE/ECW superstar Rob Van Dam
“I enjoyed the first issue. People who give it an honest read will dig it.” –Samoa Joe, TNA Champion
“Great job! I really liked the first issue” –Survivor and reality TV star Jonny Fairplay
"HEADLOCKED demonstrates exactly where the passion for the art and craft of professional wrestling is born." -former WWE/WCW writer Ed Ferrara
"I thought Headlocked was great. Its definetly a concept I felt could be adapted to a major motion picture." –WWE/TNA superstar, Shawn Daivari
"A fun, informative read for non-wrestling fans, yet written intelligently enough for diehard fans to enjoy." - Jason Powell, ProWrestling.Net
"Having suffered through literally dozens of horrible wrestling-related comic books, it was nice to see that the boys behind Headlocked are the first to deal with the subject in a realistic, and more importantly, entertaining way." Derek Burgan, F4Wrestling.com
"I was absolutely impressed with the books presentation. This book will provide the average comic book fan who may think that professional wrestling is a joke a knowledgeable and detailed look at what the business is all about." -Steve Wilson, Main Event Radio
"The quality of the book proves to me that this is both a series of note and a series that will prevail." -Joe Babinsack, Wrestling Observer
I’d have to say this is an intriguing debut issue. Headlocked features strong characters and, best of all, a non-condescending and realistic view of the world of rasslin’. Wrestling fans really need to check this one out. -Encyclopedia of Wrestling Comics.
If you are interested in keeping up on Headlocked, I would recommend that you subscribe to my blog. I don't generally post crap about my life, just the book. And the other thing you can do is spread the word...if you know someone who might be interested...tell them. We'll need all the support we can get out of the gate.
I am a big fan of pro wrestling (particularly indy wrestling), so if you are a wrestler, promoter, fan whatever... keep me updated on when your shows are and I will check them out if I am in your area.
As for me personally, I work out a lot and take Tae Kwan Do I am into hiking, enjoy live music, playing pick up football and I'm a recreational artist (b/c I'm not good enough to be professional). I've been described as an amalgamation of jock, hippie, artist, geek...I am all of these things and yet none of them at the same time. It sounds confusing but if you knew me, it would make perfect sense.
|
Who I'd like to meet:
First and foremost, fans and supporters of Headlocked....wrestling fans, comic book fans, people who appreciate a good story. I'm a first time writer, so I need all the support I can get.
Indy wrestlers, people involved with wrestling, and wrestling fans. If you know of any shows that you will be working or attending, let me know about them.
My AIM is Mkinger451..feel free to drop me a line.
