Evel Knievel Leaps Into Comic Book Action

The legendary motorcycle daredevil you know from sold-out stadiums and death-defying jumps finally takes a wild turn into a full-length comic series. EVEL KNIEVEL 1-2 follows Evel at the moment his life changes forever, from the fountains of Caesars Palace to a brutal showdown with an outlaw motorcycle club at the Cow Palace. Written by Ringo Award winner Rylend Grant with art by Dave Acosta and support from the official Evel Knievel Brand and Museum, this is a fast, brawling look at fame, danger, and determination. Heavy 80 lb interiors, 100 lb glossy covers, and a stack of variant covers make each issue feel like an event. Back EVEL KNIEVEL 1-2 on Kickstarter now.
