RICHIE RICH - Free Comic Book Day Edition

Well, I’m not actually rich. Nor am I the famous star of funnybooks and film Richie Rich. But I am writing for Kizoic’s upcoming Richie Rich comics. Click the thumbnail for the official promo image.

Here’s the press release…

Part James Bond, Jr., and part Indiana Jones with Donald Trump’s bank account, Richie Rich® is an altruistic adventurer who travels the world helping the less fortunate, and now he has a creative team to back him up.

“Ape Entertainment is extremely pleased with the writers and artists who have come forward to bring Richie Rich back to comics,” states founder and co-publisher David Hedgecock. “We have action. We have adventure. We have humor. And best of all, we have everyone’s favorite characters, from Cadbury to Irona to Dollar.”

Today, Ape Entertainment and Classic Media announced the creative teams on the new Richie Rich series that will reimagine the classic cartoon and comic book character. Artists include Tina Francisco, Jack Lawrence, Armando Zanker, James Silvani, Iwan Nazif, and more! Writers include Tom DeFalco, Bill Williams, Buddy Scalera, Brent E. Erwin, Jason M. Burns, Matt Anderson, Rob Worley, and more!

For fans of the original Harvey Comics series, the creative team of Sid Jacobson and Ernie Colon revisit the characters they helped to make famous, returning with two, all-new stories!

Richie Rich #1 will arrive in stores in May 2011.

Worley http://www.robworley.com/?p=1016 The first issue of Scratch9 is due to ship this month and I realize I’ve been a bit remiss in posting about the book here at robworley.com. I have been keeping Scratch9.com current with all the latest and greatest buzz, of if you’ve been visiting there you’re up to speed.

If not here’s some interesting stuff you missed:

Now, we don’t know the exact shipping date of issue #1. We’ll have that for you soon. If you haven’t bugged your local comic shop you may want to do that now because they may have overlooked us! If you want to help your retailer order a copy of any of the issues so far, you should give him these ordering codes: Issue 1 – #JUN10 0739, Issue 2 – #JUL10 0753 and Issue 3 – #AUG10 0753

If you really want to help raise awareness about our little indie comic — and win some cool Scratch9 prizes besides enter our “Help your comics shop find Scratch9” contest!

Finally, we’ve got previews of the second and third issues right here!
