Asylum Press announces Fearless Dawn: The Bomb

PRESS RELEASE

Asylum Press announces the release of Fearless Dawn: The Bomb the long-awaited origin story of Steve Mannion’s signature character.

Fearless Dawn Can be pre-ordered at your local comics shop. The Deadline to pre-order is Jan 18th.

The origin of Fearless Dawn is finally told! This is a great jumping-on point for any comic book fans who are not familiar with this funny, sexy, stumbling super-heroine. Learn how the awkward Prissy Jones gets her super-powers and how she creates her own costume of moose elks, action gloves and whoop-ass utility belt!. Fearless Dawn comics have always been about great art and fun frolics and this latest offering is no exception! Artist/writer Steven Mannion whips up some of the craziest comic book tales this side of The GOON and MAD MAGAZINE in this brilliantly executed high-octane project FEARLESS DAWN (Origin Story), BROWNHOLE JONES (Zombie Island Party) and introduces the R.Crumbesque JUNGLE CHICK and the DINOSAUR.

“We are very excited to offer comic fans Fearless Dawn: The Bomb, a four-issue limited series from Asylum Press. Fearless dawn has been around since the early 2000s in various forms, first appearing in Strange Battle Tales #1, a small press one-shot published by Big Ape Comics, explains publisher Frank Forte”, Steve Mannion had then published Fearless Dawn’s origin in a comic book entitled THE BOMB in the early 2000s. This was a 4-issue mini-series that Steve Mannion had self-published under the banner Atom Bomb Comics. This book had limited exposure as it was a POD (print-on-demand) book.

“It took me a year to sell 100 issues… on foot…at local comic book shows,” says Steve Mannion, “and on eBay. I had to put an original drawing on them to sell ’em on eBay! My motto was…”Atom Bomb Comics…One fan at a time”. It was very hard introducing a new character into the comic book market at the time. But I stuck with it, and we developed a small, loyal audience.”

“When I saw Strange Pirate Tales and The Bomb, I knew I wanted to publish Fearless Dawn, says publisher Frank Forte, “That’s when we did the 4-issue color mini-series entitled Fearless Dawn, which we now sometimes call Fearless Dawn: the Belly of The Beast.

“Asylum Press collected The Bomb into a trade paperback in 2010 and it quickly became a fan favorite,” Frank Forte continues,” but because we never titled it with “Fearless Dawn: The Bomb”, fans never knew it was part of the cannon. The Bomb TPB is long out of print and is hard to come by. With Fearless Dawn: The Bomb #1 fans of Fearless Dawn and Steve Mannion can finally read the origin story at the low introductory price of $4.99. The book is 32 pages and has 30 pages of comic content including the origin story, backup stories and character bios so fans can get a glimpse of who’s who in the Fearless Dawn Universe.”
Fearless Dawn: The Bomb #1 (of 4) can be pre-ordered now and is scheduled to ship March 2023. Fearless Dawn: The Bomb will be a bi-monthly series.
