Kyle Allen may not be He-Man anymore, but he’s the next best thing: a comic book creator, as Dynamite has announced an “epic tale and franchise” from the actor titled Fiberglass.
“Seven years of endlessly wandering New York City researching and reimagining it’s histories and mysteries, brought together by a truly incredible partnership with Anders Ravenstad, then cue about six false starts, countless rewrites,” said Allen via a press release provided to Comic Book Club. “Mix in the incredible team at Dynamite, the course-correcting wisdom of Dennis Culver, the visual super stardom that is Geoffo, and a literal village of dear friends contributing ideas and urging us not to give up…. that all brings you Fiberglass. Which is special to me not because I made it up, but because I can no longer tell which parts I made up. The theme of the story is how the story was made. ‘It’s only impossible when we do it alone.'”
The book is created by Allen, Anders Ravenstad, writer Dennis Culver, and artist Geoffo. it focuses on a “world that exists just beyond our sight,” and in particular a man named Cory Salamanca, who gets thrown into a web of crime. His only way out? A covert group known as Fiberglass, who are trying to shut down the Underground Empire of crime.
Added Ravenstad, “Kyle and I are creatives formed by our love of comics and introducing readers to our world through this medium is an absolute privilege. This is an insane, colorful, complex story and the tireless efforts made by Dennis, Geoffo, and the Dynamite Team to help bring this vision to life is nothing short of monumental. When I think of people devouring our comics in the same way I did so many others in my local comic shop Fantasy Books and Games I don’t know what to do with myself. Now that we’ve found our way to the other side of the page I’m overjoyed to finally say: Welcome to Fiberglass.”
So, what is Fiberglass? Is it a comic? A graphic novel? A novelty toaster? We don’t know yet, but both Ravenstad and Allen will be on Dynamite’s Friday panel at San Diego Comic-Con if you want more info. In the meantime, check out art for the, I want to say, plant-based line of burgers (?) below.
