Good Journey! Geekscape, the beloved pop culture podcast network and media company, has revealed the cover for their new comic series, Paul London: Hero of the Prophecy #1. Launching on Kickstarter February 4, 2025, this 26-page adventure promises a unique blend of pro-wrestling, fantasy, and sci-fi.
Written by Jonathan London (Miami Vice, Super Action Man) and based on an idea by his brother, real-life pro wrestler Paul London (WWE, Ring of Honor, Lucha Underground), the story follows Paul as he is transported to an alien world where he’s mistaken for a legendary hero destined to save the planet.
The dynamic cover art, created by series artist Marcelo Sanchez with colors by Vittorio Astone (Canto), captures the larger-than-life energy of this ‘80s-inspired fantasy epic. “It’s a lot to convey on a single cover, but Marcelo and Vittorio did a great job!” says Jonathan London. “I can’t wait for fans to dive into the adventure.”
Paul London: Hero of the Prophecy #1 features artwork by Marcelo Sanchez, colors by Vittorio Astone, and letters by Ringo Award nominee Micah Myers (Puerto Rico Strong). Edited by Winston Gambro and produced by Geekscape’s Georg Kallert, the comic promises an action-packed journey for fans of pro wrestling and fantastical storytelling.
