FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
The Bronze Goddess of Freedom Flies Again thanks to two Companies known
for independent creations and innovative storytelling. LIBERTY GIRL by
Barry Reese, adapted from and based on works by Dennis Mallonee, is now
available from Pro Se Productions via a license with Heroic Publishing.
Pro Se, a leader in New Pulp and Action/Adventure Fiction, and Heroic
Publishing, a force in independent comics since the mid-1980s, proudly
announce the debut of the first volume of adventures featuring one of
Heroic’s best known characters- Liberty Girl.
The Liberty Girl is a World War II heroine ripped from her glory days
and rocketed forward in time to today, where she’s needed more than
ever! Noted Pulp and Genre Fiction Author Barry Reese adapts Comic
Creator and Publisher Dennis Mallonee’s debut Liberty Girl Mini Series
into a prose novella. Also included in this volume is an original
Liberty Girl short story penned by Reese. The book also opens with an
introduction provided by Comic Book Legend Roy Thomas, the creator
behind All Star Squadron, Infinity Inc., and more.
“It’s a really big deal,” Tommy Hancock, Editor in Chief of and Partner
in Pro Se Productions, says, “when two companies from different aspects
of the publishing arena, especially two independents known for their own
unique stories and styles, bring the best they have together to produce
landmark work. LIBERTY GIRL is just that. Arguably one of Heroic’s
most recognized characters has now been interpreted and realized in
prose by one of Pro Se’s- and to be honest, one of Genre Fiction’s- most
talented authors. Barry embraces the groundwork that Dennis built in
the Liberty Girl comic series and builds a wonderful tapestry of
heroism, power, and hope in what is truly one of the best works Pro Se
has ever produced.”
“Sometimes,” Hancock continues, “everything just falls in place for a
book. The right concept, the right writer to not only handle transition
from comics to prose, but to create a brand new story for the book as
well, and the right voice to weigh in on such a character with an
introduction. Roy Thomas, the man who is responsible at least in part
for me –and quite a few others, I know- pursuing my dreams to write,
kicks off Pro Se’s LIBERTY GIRL with just the right words to set the
mood for the stories to follow. And then wrap that in an absolutely
stunning cover by the ever-talented Jeff Hayes, and this book- there is
no other word. LIBERTY GIRL is the perfect storm of books.”
Edited by Thomas Fortenberry and Morgan Minor, LIBERTY GIRL is now
available at Amazon and Barnes & Noble in print and in Ebook at
Amazon for the Kindle, at Barnes & Noble for the Nook, and in most
formats at www.smashwords.com.
In coming weeks, Pro Se will announce more Heroic projects, including
another Liberty Girl centered book as well as an anthology featuring
another one of Heroic’s best known super heroines, Flare.
