Brooklyn Gladiator – Fantastic Graphic Novel, But Where To Find It?

dan-fogler-as-jacob-in-fantastic-beastsMany of those who saw Fantastic Beasts And Where To Find Them were blown away by the character of Kowalski played by Dan Fogler. A character whose journey moved from a poignant joke to a heroic, admired, self-sacrificial figure, the best of humanity, and one encapsulated by a fat middle-aged moustachioed man, rather than the standard action hero. Odds are a lot of sons and daughters saw their father in a possible, magical new light.

A long-running character actor, mostly appearing on the stage, winning a Tony for The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee, and in TV shows such as The Goldbergs, and Hannibal and starring in the film Balls of Fury and Fanboys, he's also a writer, director, including making the films Hysterical Psycho and Don Peyote. This also led to a him creating a graphic anthology, which he also wrote for, called Moon Lake, the first two volumes published by Archaia Entertainment, telling  the past, present, and future of the most haunted town on Earth, Moon Lake, narrated by the Man in the Moon.

His followup Brookyn Gladiator, was successfully Kickstartered a year ago, though folks do still seem to be waiting on their copies… there's a look at the preview launched at San Diego Comic Con in 2015, below. He talked about it to Bleeding Cool back then.

Indeed, he appears that found out he had got the part of Jacob while he was on the showfloor selling his comics,  and so pleased was he that he started handing them out for free to anyone who stopped by his booth.

So, yes, to be fair, Dan has had a busy year… but right now it's a case of Fantastic Graphic Novel But No One Can Find It.
