Our comic love letter to old martial arts films - preorder now!
A FISTFUL OF PAIN finally comes to stores in November - which cover will you be getting?
When Louie Joyce and I set out to make A FISTFUL OF PAIN many years ago, we wanted this to be the absolute best fight comic we could make.
There’s a tale of siblings and rivalry and family pain and the lengths and depths we are willing to go to make things right, even at the cost of our own pain. But this is also a comic where two sisters have a kung fu showdown at midnight on a yacht off the coast of Melbourne, and we had to bring that thunder as well.
Throughout this comic, there are multiple pages and double-page splashes where Louie just absolutely cuts loose. Every turn of the page is a new flex from his art war chest. The story should cut, but the artistry on the page should absolutely flykick you in the face.
I guarantee you will spend hours looking at the art from Louie in A Fistful of Pain
Our comic lands in stores at the end of November thanks to the awesome team at ComixTribe and we want to make sure you’ve got your preorder in now. Speak to your comic shop and make certain they’ve ordered and will be putting away a copy of 2023’s best fight comic: A FISTFUL OF PAIN.
