Broken Frontier

Frank Forte, publisher of Asylum Press, has announced that the first issue of Fearless Dawn, By Steve Mannion, will be released April 2009.  Jet riding good girl FEARLESS DAWN battles her arch nemesis Helga Von Krause in this mini-series from Steve Mannion. Fearless Dawn infiltrates the vaunted "Manitoba Sector" to discover the secret behind Helga's chemically-induced NAZI MONSTERS. Meanwhile, all is not well back at home base when Fearless Dawn's boss discovers our hero has broken probation and flown the coop! Join us now as Steve Mannion's beautifully rendered comic book tale unfolds in full-color glory!  Fan's of Steve Mannion's The Bomb will love this new action-packed series.
 
"I am excited to bring Fearless dawn to a full-color series," says creator Steve Mannion," this is a dream project and I'm having a blast."  "This is a great opportunity to showcase one of the great undiscovered comic illustrators of our time," says publisher Frank Forte. "Steve's dedication to the medium is unsurpassed.  His pages are just a marvel to look at."
Steve Mannion’s amazing artwork is a beautiful homage to classic comics of yesteryear, and it brings to mind the timeless styles of artists that include Wally Wood, Will Elder, and Robert Crumb. Page layouts vary in style as well, bringing back memories of old Archie Comics, to stuff you see as recently as Eric Powell’s The Goon!
