Read All Of Dragonflyman #1 For Free on Bleeding Cool

Published Tue, 16 Jun 2020 13:05:54 -0500

Today, June 16th, is Dragonflyman Day, alongside the trade paperback release of Dragonfly & Dragonflyman, the multiverse superhero comic that sees two different versions of the same superhero have to live each other's lives, with hilarious consequences. And for Dragonflyman Day, Bleeding Cool has the entire oversized first issue to read, for free.

Dragonfly & Dragonflyman is the prequel to the comic book The Wrong Earth, by writer Tom Peyer, artist Peter Krause, colourist Andy Troy, and letterer Rob Steen.

In the darkness of Earth-Omega, THE DRAGONFLY exacts vengeance from sadistic killers and corrupt authorities. On sunlit Earth-Alpha, the upstanding DRAGONFLYMAN fights for justice alongside the police. Now, for the first time ever, all five issues of the series, plus the 2019 AHOY Free Comic Book Day story, will be available in one dimension-smashing volume—and, coincidentally, just in time for everyone's new favorite summer holiday: Dragonflyman Day.

A brand-new but already beloved tradition wherein people from all over earth—Omega, Alpha, and otherwise—celebrate this all-too-misunderstood superhero, Dragonflyman Day will be full of exciting festivities, such as the aforementioned bookstore release date of the trade paperback.

"The idea of dedicating an annual day to a fictional masked crimefighter is so unprecedented, so unheard-of, that it takes all of AHOY Comics' courage to even suggest it," said Tom Peyer, author of the book and AHOY Editor-in-Chief. "Yet suggest it we must, for it's about time we honoured something as important as a comic book hero, maybe with a flyover, or people going out to their balconies to applaud."

Is that the best judgement of the room? Either way, comic book fans got this collection two weeks earlier… and here, as promised, is that first issue for free.

Following from AHOY's widely-read Free Comic Book Day edition, this prequel to The Wrong Earth follows gritty vigilante The Dragonfly and his innocent, campy counterpart Dragonflyman, before they became trapped on each other's Earths! Can two versions of the satanic Devil-Man corrupt both of their souls? EXTRA: Prose fiction and fact, beautifully illustrated.
