STEVE MANNION ANNOUNCES FEARLESS DAWN KICKSTARTER PROJECT FOR NEW COMIC BOOK “JURASSIC JUNGLE BOOGIE NIGHTS”

Jan. 17, 2012 (Los Angeles) Steve Mannion's fighting mad bad girl FEARLESS DAWN is back and better than ever in this Dinosaurrific tale of Action and Adventure!

Steve Mannion's unique art and storytelling have been rocking the underground comic book industry for years. His talents have bled into the mainstream as well, on such titles as Batman: Black and White, The Bomb, Detective Comics, Fear Agent, Warlash and Captain America SOL just to name a few.

With the rise of the crowdfunding resource as a viable method of print and distribution, Steve figured... "What the heck. Let's give it a try."
Now the book is almost done. The Fearless Dawn "Jurassic Jungle Boogie Nights" Kickstarter sketch edition. 32 pages of FUN! Some of you may be familiar with Steve's Fearless Dawn character. You will be helping us draw, print, distribute, and explore this angle of crowd sourcing PLUS you get a really fun comic book out of it to boot.  Steve Mannion has been fortunate enough where he can regularly Ebay the pages and books, and afford to produce these underground treasures with some regularity. That will be our route if we fail to meet the funding goal. But we'd really like to see this go! So let's get on our retro-rockets and BLAST FORTH Comrades!

The Premise- It's World War Two and the Nazis are threatening  world domination. A new hero rises to fight the Axis...It's a New Dawn!... FEARLESS DAWN! With her trusty Retro-Rocket and Sidekick Betty, there's plenty of ACTION afoot. Enter the evil Helga Von Krause, Fearless Dawn's arch nemesis and the sparks really begin to fly! Helga's cooking up a plot to invade with an army of genetically-modified Dinosaur warriors that threaten to smash everything in the free world unless she is stopped! Can FEARLESS DAWN save the Day?!?
Drawn in an appealing retro style and loaded with fun, Fearless Dawn will surely entertain anyone who enjoys a great action adventure. Imagine Indiana Jones crossed with Mad Magazine and you'll get a pretty good idea of what we're delivering here.

Rewards include original art, Steve Mannion 2012 sketchbooks, Fearless dawn signed packs, original sketches and more.
