Enter the glamorous world of 1930s wrestling!
Dark Horse Comics presents a hilarious new miniseries from The Orville executive producer and writer David A. Goodman (The Orville, Space Job), Gonzalo Duarte (Big Trouble in Little China, Hellbreak), and debuting in the United States, artists Alex Andrés, along with letterer Mauro Mantella (Space Job, The Ward). The Masked Macher showcases the comedic story of a would-be actor entering the very different world of professional wrestling.
Aspiring actor Tony Hollywood is about to make his big break in the height of 1930’s movie star glitz and glam. His next audition is the role that will change his life, but a flat tire sends him to a different stage. Breaking down outside a wrestling arena lands him the part of the Masked Macher! Hey, it pays, even if no one knows what a “macher” is.
“The Masked Macher is trying to do a lot,” says writer David Goodman. “First, it’s a comedic portrayal of how people make their way in show business. ‘Macher’ if you don’t know, is Yiddish for ‘big shot,’ which is all Tony wants to be. But the story is also about nostalgia, how we can look back and long for a time that really wasn’t all that pleasant. And on top of all that, we’re trying to make the whole thing funny and exciting.”
Tony enters the ring with The Masked Macher #1 (of 4) when it arrives in comic shops on September 18, 2024. It is now available for pre-order at your local comic shop for $4.99.
