Broken Frontier

TED NOODLEMAN: BICYCLE DELIVERY BOY is the story of a guy who takes his job seriously. Very seriously. So seriously that he's constantly envisioning himself as a superhero, a jungle adventurer, a gunslinger, or any number of other archetypes as he works hard to make his deliveries.

So seriously that he's very, very funny.

Beginning as a series of Internet comic strips on writer/director Kevin Smith's MoviePoopShoot.com, Ted Noodleman has quickly become a cult classic comic among readers and is known for his imaginatively offbeat adventures. Portions of the series have since been seen in DIGITAL WEBBING PRESENTS.

The 96-page graphic novel edition of TED NOODLEMAN coming through Alias Comics this April will collect all of the original strips, as well as add some new stories and two other short comics by Keplinger. This will be the first time the comics will be published together in one place, and should serve as a final, definitive edition for the series.

"Part of the fun of Ted Noodleman is that anyone can understand him," said Jim "Kep!" Keplinger, the writer and creator of the cult-classic series. "There's something for everyone, and just about anyone can relate to a dreamer like Ted."

Another highlight of the story is the art of Ryan Ottley (who is currently hard at work on the increasingly popular Invincible), which lends its own sense of humor to the story, often in ways that Keplinger admits surprised even himself.

"A lot of people aren't familiar with TED NOODLEMAN, and we're hoping they'll discover him with the release of this collection," said Sean J. Jordan, Managing Editor for Alias Comics. "This book is on par with humor classics like THE TICK and SAM AND MAX HIT THE ROAD, and I think it's going to be one of those titles that will show up on must-buy lists once it hits the shelves."

TED NOODLEMAN: BICYCLE DELIVERY BOY will be published by Alias Comics and solicited through Diamond Distributors, Order Code FEB052489.
