Scout Comics is set to recount the (sort of true) story of the deadliest man who ever lived in Count Dante by J.C. Barbour and Wes Watson.
You might remember the iconic comic book ads of the 1970s—The World’s DEADLIEST FIGHTING SECRETS can be yours! But do you know the story behind those ads? John Timothy Keehan returned home to Chicago, a Vietnam War veteran ready to make a name for himself in martial arts. But what he found was a hard town, still run by the Outfit—Capone’s mafia. Luckily, Keehan bumped into an old war buddy, Sidney Brown. Together they set forth on a plan to conquer the world of martial arts, a plan that would turn the nice, Irish boy from Beverly Chicago into the most vicious, hairdressing, car-selling, cape-wearing karate master ever to live!
Count Dante arrives on April 19, 2023.
