I’m thrilled to reveal that I’m writing an AMADEUS CHO 20th Anniversary Special comic book for Marvel, celebrating two decades of everyone’s favorite underdog hero! Read all about it at AIPTcomics.com!

From the solicit:

  • Join Amadeus, Hercules and the Renegades on the eve of World War Hulk!
  • Return to the era of the Totally Awesome Hulk as Amadeus and his sister Maddy Cho discover a long-hidden secret that might just break your heart.
  • Finally, Amadeus in his Brawn era tackles a shocking new threat – and emerges in a whole new form?

A quote from yours truly!

“I’m a little stunned that Amadeus Cho has been around 20 years now and absolutely thrilled that we’re celebrating with this big one-shot,” Pak shared. “I knew we had something special when Tak Miyazawa sent in his very first awesome designs of Amadeus and his pup and scooter back when, but I don’t think any of us could have predicted how the character would absolutely take off. Huge thanks to everyone who’s ever picked up a story with this scrappy underdog and enormous love to every artist, editor, and writer who’s ever contributed to his saga—especially Tak for co-creating Amadeus, Mark Paniccia for editing most of his stories, and Incredible Hercules co-writer Fred Van Lente for telling so many of Amadeus’s key stories with me!”

The book will be drawn by Tak Miyazawa, Creees Lee, and Jethro Morales. The cover above is by Derrick Chew; the cover below is by Leinil Yu. Please do ask your local comic shop to pre-order it for you today!
