"Save the World in 24 Minutes!"




A NEW SERIES



Ablaze Media is pleased to announce the launch of Peckerwood, a new series of comedy graphic novels. The first book, Peckerwood: 24 Minutes, will be available in comic shops from June 2nd 2008. It is a wickedly funny, irreverent parody of the TV show 24.



"If you've got good taste and a knowledge of pop culture, then Peckerwood: 24 Minutes will rock your world," declares artist Peter Lumby. "But if you're easily offended and you have no sense of humour, then you should buy this book anyway - and burn it. That way, you can vent your anger and we can still get paid."



Writer Rob Dunlop adds, "A cross-dressing anti-terrorist agent, a hitman with a barcode on the back of his head, and a president who's a gangster rapper teddy bear. What more does a story need?"





PECKERWOOD: 24 MINUTES SYNOPSIS



Agent Jack Ass has just 24 minutes to abduct a hitman, raid a candy factory, save a panda, fly to Europe, have his hair done and prevent World War 3. Yup, he's gonna need some help. Tozzer, Rod and Hornie are desperate for work, so when Jack offers them the acting gig of a lifetime, they jump at the chance. But all is not as it seems. The fate of the planet hangs in the balance, and the clock is ticking... Or at least it would be ticking, if it wasn't digital.
