In 1976 the Human Fly became the sensation of talk shows and news reports literally risking life and limb in the most dangerous of acts wearing a mask and costume to conceal his identity.

Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

In 1976, the Human Fly became the sensation of talk shows and news reports, literally risking life and limb in the most dangerous of acts while wearing a mask and costume to conceal his identity. The man who promised to "out-Evel Knievel" Evel Knievel! He was so popular at that time that Marvel actually made him part of their comics universe for a year and a half!

And now, the anonymous adventurer has re-emerged in a drama ripped from today's headlines as the Fly confronts startling new adversaries: drug cartels, suspicious federal agents from three nations, and a men's-rights terrorist group led by the charismatic, media-savvy Fire Sword.

Featuring glorious, insane stunts at real-life locations in Canada, the USA, and Mexico! The Human Fly is back in a high-octane series containing everything fans loved about him in the sizzling '70s, but with intriguing new mysteries.

Is today's Fly the same man who nearly died in a Montreal Olympic Stadium crash of 1977? Who is his new apprentice, Mercury, and is she secretly out to betray him? How long is the Fly's legacyβ€”decades or centuries? The Human Fly swings into peril for the sake of worthy charities again, but he remains the most amazing superhero of all because he's real!

About the Author

Jason Franks is the writer of the The Sixsmiths graphic novels (a Ledger Awards finalist) and the comic series Left Hand Path (also short-listed for an Aurealis Award), as well as numerous short stories in prose and comics. His forthcoming projects include Frankenstein Monstrance, a four issue science fiction/horror miniseries with artist Tam Nation.

J. Scherpenhuizen is a mainstay of the Australian comics scene. His work includes writing and illustrating the gritty horror graphic novel The Time of the wolves, pencilling with Michal Dutkiewicz (Wolverine, Lost in Space) and inking Chewie Chan on Buckaroo Banzai. He's also done a slew of work with ace comics writer Christopher Sequeira, with whom he has developed and created numerous properties including Mister Blood and The Catamorph.

Tony Babinski is a Montreal-based Writer, Producer, Director, and Creative Director. He is the President of Human Fly International Inc, which controls the rights to The Human Fly. He is the author of 20 Years Under the Sun, the official history of Cirque du Soleil, and co-author (with Bertrand Cesvet and Eric Alper) of Conversational Capital. He is a published short story writer and poet, the writer of several feature film plays, a podcast host a musician and songwriter, and devoted husband and father.

Dan Lynch is a Blue Mountains-based artist who has been working on various Australian and international comic books since 2004 . Published work includes Sea Dragon (Cult Fiction Comics Australia), Tides of Hope charity anthology. Retro Sci Fi Tales (Dark Oz), The SuperAustralians for IPI Comics, and Steam-Age Wasteland (Antarctic Press) just to name a few. Dan is currently busy colouring The Human Fly, studying cyber security, and raising his 5 children.

Christopher Sequeira has written for Marvel, DC, Dynamite. Boom! Studios, FrewPublications, and more. He also has a significant profile as a conceptualist, contributing short story writer, and commissioning editor of mystery, science fiction, horror and fantasy prose anthologies. Thus, he has worked on such books as Sherlock Holmes and Doctor Was Not; Sherlock Holmes : The Australian Casebook; Dracul Unfanged; and the all-star creator anthology Caped Fear.

Peter J. Lawson illustrated promo art for The Southern Squadron, covers for Air Hawk and Bronwyn, and finally The Human Fly. As someone who loved the original run of the Fly back in the '70s, Peter was thrilled to get the call to be a part of this. IPI Comics has a much longer Human Fly arc in mind for Peter!
