by Jonathan Lion Forge’s Digital Comic Books Based on “Airwolf” and “Knight Rider” Launch Today!

I hope it hasn’t become annoying to you Geekscapists since we announced it here back in July, but we are basically family with the Lionforge folks (one of their head honchos is our very own longtime Geekscapist DJ Hyjak!) so you’ll be hearing a bit more about their original titles and the NBCUniversal TV properties they’ve licensed to develop into comic books! And starting today, you can check out 2 of those titles, Airwolf and Knight Rider, on the Comics Plus App and will be available soon on Amazon, Google Books and more.

I’m excited for these books. I know that I have my own horse in the race (Miami Vice comes out next month) but I’ve become friends with Airwolf and Knight Rider writers David Gorden and Geoffrey Thorne over the past few months and also a fan of their work. David and I spent the past weekend at NYCC doing interviews and promotion for the books and when we weren’t at the convention we could be found wolfing down wings with Big Yanks at the Geekscape NYCC Meetup, rooting for David’s Saint Louis Cardinals or hunting ghosts on the streets of New York (really, we found some green ectoplasmic evidence… and I have proof!). He’s a good friend and I can’t wait to see what he does with the property. Geoffrey Thorne was a regular at the Geekscape booth at San Diego Comic Con and I even had a dream a few weeks ago that he had cast me in an adaptation of The Greatest American Hero (really, I had this dream and I do not understand it… and there is no adaptation of The Greatest American Hero that I know of).

Suffice to say, beyond our personal ties here at Geekscape, they are great creators, they are indie creators, and I urge you all to show them your support by checking out these books. There’s more that I could say (and probably will in the coming months) but I’ll let the artwork from the books’ covers and interiors speak for themselves! The press release about the books follows!
