AHOY Comics announced the upcoming release of The Gimmick, a Coen Brothers-style dark comedy about wrestling from Joanne Starer and Elena Gogou.
“THE GIMMICK is born from the wild, incredible, and sometimes terrible experiences I had in the world of pro-wrestling,” said Starer, who once owned women’s wrestling promotion Kiryoku Pro out of Pennsylvania and championed equality in the field. “I’ve seen it from many angles: as an in-ring performer, a promoter, and a wrestler’s girlfriend. I’ve got stories, y’all.”In the series, the now fugitive Shane Bryant flees to Tijuana, where he begins a career as a masked wrestler. But Shane’s life has too many loose ends to make a clean escape possible. His manipulative mother, his ex-girlfriend, his child, the friends he left behind, and the daughter of the man he killed all want a piece of him….
The Gimmick #1 arrives on March 8, 2023.
