Whiz!Bam!Pow! is back!
If you’re not familiar, Whiz!Bam!Pow! is my tale (crafted with the help of some awesome people) of the effect a single comic book has on the lives of those who possess it:
A heroic icon of Americana. A grandfather rebuilding his grandson’s future by recreating his youth. A caricature artist struggling with reality. A basement discovery — all connected by a single comic book.
Whiz!Bam!Pow! is a story experience told through three interconnected novelettes, a
1940s radio show and a comic book from 1938 that delves into family, forgery, ambition, secret codes, death rays and the Golden Age of Comics.
Book One tells the tale of Ollie, a grandfather who attempts to make a forgery of the most valuable comic book in the world –– Whiz!Bam!Pow! Comics #7, the comic taken from him 61 years earlier in A Linen Forcefield –– after gambling away his grandson’s college money on a senior’s casino trip. Cover-up, Jane Russell, bedtime stories, and heartbreak ensue.
Whiz!Bam!Pow! Book One – Ollie is also available on Kindle devices for .99.
