GEE Comics - Let your imagination run wild!

GEE Comics - Let your imagination run wild!

GEE Comics is the brainchild of Gary ‘Mac’ MacDowell and a source of scintillating and thought-provoking indie story-telling. 

Featured among GEE Comics' titles is ‘Big Willy’, a true-hero with a pure heart, clear mind, an iron will and, unlike other superheroes, a propensity to lose his pants while battling evil. Big Willy teaches its audience that we all have the potential to be truly heroic when called upon. The story was originally inspired by Gary Mac’s son, Evan, whom he learned had ADHD. In response, Gary developed the story to help lead his son down a heroic path, and show him that he is a true hero to his father just the way he is.

Also featured is ‘Super ‘n’ Duper’, a story about superhero brothers with a boatload of super powers, which they use to battle enemies with names the likes of Zickiwackibuckitucki Aliens and Chub-Chub Bubble Butt. With characters like these, Super ‘n’ Duper is a fun read that can be enjoyed by children and parents alike.

Comic fans looking for more adult story-telling will enjoy GEE Comics' other titles like ‘Day 1’, a gritty revenge story that shows how a man with love can turn into a man of hate over a 12 day period. Also check out ‘One Day’, an anthology series that tells the story of humanity’s final 24 hours from different individual perspectives. 

Free samples of these titles can be found at the GEE Comics website
