San Diego Comic-Con 2023
Author: Newsroom
Gaming visionary Cliff Bleszinski (Gears of War, Unreal Tournament) and superstar scribe Alex de Campi (Dracula, Motherf**ker!, Madi) are proud to launch the first issue of their dog-centric comic series Scrapper in the lead-up to San Diego Comic-Con. This personal story of love and loss holds a near and dear place in Bleszinski’s heart, as it mixes Blade Runner-style action and mystery with friendship, thrills, and, most importantly, man’s best friend!
“As a lifelong fan of comics, it’s an honor to create one with Alex,” said Bleszinski. “Scrapper comes from the heart; first, the loss of my Aussie Teddy and then finding puppy love again with our Pomsky Lady. I truly hope everyone enjoys this deeply personal work.”
“It’s been a joy to get back to full-bore, edge-of-your-seat action writing in a monthly comic, even more so when I base it around such a wonderful cast of urban animals as we’ve created in Scrapper,” said de Campi. “If you have pets you love, or you’ve ever just wanted to pet the dog in a video game, this is the book for you.”
Those attending SDCC can attend two panels featuring Cliff, Alex, and Scrapper!
