Chad Michael Strohl announces the debut and release of Did Somebody Call for a Hero Oct. 3-4 at Mid-Ohio Con.
 
This is the first book of an ongoing series of the same name and focuses on the exploits of Hero Montgomery, an adventuring do-gooder as he is thrust into a terrorist plot involving an angry ex-girlfriend, an over-protective mother, and bad guys with big guns, while also delving into Hero’s past and discovering the roots of his heroism.

 
In the tradition of serials like The Phantom and Flash Gordon, adventure films like Raiders of the Lost Ark and King Solomon’s Mines, the novels of Edgar Rice Burroughs, Ian Fleming, and Clive Cussler, Did Somebody Call for a Hero rockets through the modern world and gives this generation a brand new Hero.
 
The book is designed as both a novel and a comic, neither being independent of the other and both text and panels move the story along to the climax. Weighing in at 95 pages, with approximately 30 pages of panels dispersed throughout, it will satisfy both readers of comics and novels alike.
 
Copies of Did Somebody Call for a Hero can be found online at comixpress.com or by emailing DSCFAH@aol.com, or visiting MySpace.com/DSCFAH for alternative ordering information. Stop by the table at Mid-Ohio Con to sign up for a chance to win a hat like the one Hero wears.

Chad Michael Strohl is a writer and artist residing in Moxahala, Ohio with his two daughters. He has been a resident of Southeast Ohio his entire life. Chad has worked on everything from novels to short stories, screenplays to comics - his most recent gig as artist on the web comic New Comic Day, on ComicRelated.com. But first and foremost, he considers himself a fan.


 
Since the first time he caught of glimpse of a Ray "Crash" Corrigan serial on television one Sunday afternoon, he was hooked. It wasn‘t long until he was hanging on trucks or swinging from vines, battling the nastiest of the nasty and always stealing a kiss at the end of the day.
 
In a lot of ways, that’s who Hero Montgomery is. He’s that daydreaming kid that never grew up and found a way, many years later, to come to life in the pages of his very own book. Thankfully, he isn’t too bitter about being gone for so long. After all, he did allow Chad to write it.
