For immediate release
“The Comic-Con has played an important role in the success of Rob Hanes Adventures over the years, so I look forward to celebrating this milestone at the show,” said series creator and writer-artist Randy Reynaldo. “It's become a tradition for WCG to debut a new issue of the series at Comic-Con, and I look forward to seeing many of the book's longtime fans at the convention, and to meeting new ones.”
To celebrate the occasion, WCG will premiere Rob Hanes Adventures #9 and a special edition poster and print at the show. The company's entire catalog of back issues also will be on sale, and a special coupon flyer that will be distributed at the Comic-Con will provide an additional 10 percent discount (the coupon may also be downloaded in advance of the show). A special sneak preview of issue 10 also will be available at the show.
Rob Hanes Adventures debuted in 1991 and is an all-ages action-adventure series that has been compared to Jonny Quest, Danger Girl, Young Indiana Jones, Tintin, and the work of classic adventure artists like Roy Crane, Milton Caniff, and Alex Toth. The title character is a globetrotting troubleshooter for Justice International, a worldwide private investigative and espionage agency. Many of the series' storylines are inspired by real-life events. The series also is known for featuring self-contained “done in one” stories, allowing new readers to start the series with any issue.
More recently, creator Reynaldo has begun expanding the breadth of the series, incorporating more humor and a wider variety of storylines and genres. For example, while issue 9, titled “Rescue in Koman,” is a classic action story in which Rob takes part in a daring rescue of a downed U.S. pilot being held hostage in the Middle East, issue 10 features a classic sports story: soon after going undercover on a minor league baseball team, he becomes more obsessed with scoring a hit than with solving his case!
