SAN DIEGO, Calif., July 22, 2026 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — One of this year’s most unexpected Comic-Con announcements comes as Thump Records—long recognized for its contributions to the music industry—officially enters the world of comic book publishing with the debut of “East Side Story” #1, premiering exclusively at Booth #1735 during San Diego Comic-Con.

Inspired by the iconic Chicano-influenced East Side Story music compilations of Thump Records, the company’s inaugural comic book is the first chapter of an original multimedia property, introducing readers to a compelling cast of characters and the dramatic events that set the story in motion.

Set against the unmistakable backdrop of Southern California, “East Side Story” is an authentic, character-driven story inspired by the rich traditions of the region’s legendary lowrider culture. Far more than beautifully customized automobiles, lowriding represents generations of artistry, craftsmanship, family, music, neighborhood pride, and cultural heritage. The comic celebrates that legacy through cinematic storytelling that focuses on the people whose lives, dreams, triumphs, and challenges define this remarkable community.

Rather than relying on stereotypes, “East Side Story” delivers an emotionally engaging story filled with family conflict, friendship, loyalty, ambition, romance, and redemption—creating a vibrant world that honors one of Southern California’s most enduring cultural movements.

“Comic books have become one of the entertainment industry’s greatest launching pads for unforgettable worlds and compelling new characters,” said Bill Walker, President of Thump Records. “With ‘East Side Story,’ we’re honored to introduce readers to a story that celebrates the heart and soul of Southern California’s lowrider community with authenticity, respect, and cinematic scope. This is a story about family, identity, dreams, and perseverance—universal themes that transcend culture. We believe audiences will immediately connect with these characters and their journey, and we’re incredibly proud to premiere the very first issue at San Diego Comic-Con.”

The debut of “East Side Story” #1 also marks a significant new chapter for Thump Records, reflecting the company’s commitment to developing original intellectual property across multiple forms of entertainment. By expanding from music into comic book publishing, Thump Records is embracing the growing synergy between comics, film, television, and music while creating stories designed to resonate with audiences across generations.

Comic-Con attendees visiting Booth #1735 will be among the very first readers anywhere to experience “East Side Story” #1, and discover the beginning of what promises to become an exciting new multimedia entertainment franchise.

Following its Comic-Con debut, “East Side Story” #1 will also be available at the “East Side Story” celebration on San Diego’s Broadway Pier on Saturday, July 25, where fans of live music, classic lowriders, and Southern California culture can experience the real-world inspiration behind the comic book.

As Hollywood continues to look to comic books for its next generation of film and television projects, “East Side Story” at exactly the right moment—offering authentic storytelling, unforgettable characters, and a cinematic vision rooted in one of America’s most vibrant and influential cultural traditions.

Whether you’re a lifelong comic book fan, an admirer of Southern California culture, or simply searching for the next exciting independent series to discover, “East Side Story” #1 is a Comic-Con debut not to be missed.

VISIT THUMP RECORDS AT SAN DIEGO COMIC-CON BOOTH #1735

Be among the first to experience the world premiere of “East Side Story” #1 and witness the launch of an exciting new comic book universe inspired by the people, traditions, and spirit of Southern California’s legendary lowrider culture.

‘The Real Superheroes of Beverly Hills’ Get Glitzy Debut at Comic-Con

Nation's biggest pop culture event was launchpad for new illustrated novel

LOS ANGELES, Calif., Aug. 6, 2025 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — The glittering facade of Beverly Hills just got a serious makeover in the pages of “The Real Superheroes of Beverly Hills” illustrated novel. Writer and longtime comic-book scribe Steve Stern (“Zen Intergalactic Ninja”) said, “It’s the story of four students at Beverly Hills High who receive some wild powers during a cosmic event at Griffith Observatory, are immediately outed by a tabloid reporter, and then given their own reality TV show.” He added with a smile, “What could possibly go wrong?”

Image caption: “The Real Superheroes of Beverly Hills” illustrated novel debuted at Comic-Con.

Jim Fletcher, who for years was Creative Director of DC Direct, the collectible merchandise division of DC Comics, teamed up with his daughter Leila to provide the illustrations for the novel. “We set out to explore what heroism looks like when filtered through the lens of fame, vanity and the age of social media,” Fletcher said.

“The Real Superheroes of Beverly Hills” is published by 1First Books. Publisher Ken F. Levin, who is also an Executive Producer of the Amazon Prime megahit “The Boys,” said, “With its unique concept, this illustrated novel is a great new addition to our growing imprint, and it received a highly enthusiastic reception at Comic-Con.”

Stern and Fletcher have a long history. The two met decades ago when Fletcher created the packaging art for the “Zen Intergalactic Ninja” videogames from Konami and action figures from Just Toys, as well as illustrated all of the covers for the “Zen” series published by Archie Comics.

A genre-bending mix of action, humor, and satire that offers a fresh take on the superhero genre, “The Real Superheroes of Beverly Hills” is also suitably action-packed, with a revenge-seeking psychopath who employs an army of AI-enhanced henchmen to disrupt events at the Beverly Hills Hotel — as well as at Comic-Con itself.

Stern, himself a resident of Beverly Hills, said, “We wanted to really have fun at some of the iconic locations that figure into the book.”

What’s in the future for “The Real Superheroes of Beverly Hills”? “Everyone who got a copy at Comic-Con invariably asked, ‘Is this a reality TV show?’” Stern added. “And my answer was always, “Hopefully, it will be.”

Comic book child star grows up to partner with writer father on Kickstarter horror titles

FORT WORTH, Texas /ScoopCloud/ -- Since he was 12 years old, Jake Tinsley has written and promoted his own professional comic books. Now, the 28-year-old Jake is debuting a brand new adult horror title "ALTERNATIVE NARRATIVES" which is being sold in a powerful Kickstarter, side-by-side with "THE BLONDE ASSASSIN" title written by his father Ben Tinsley. The father and son comprise the TINSLEY BOYS writing team who work out of Jason Dube's Sacramento-based Scattered Comics. They are best known for their "NIGHT OWL" character, a young shaman protecting the balance of the universe.

"ALTERNATIVE NARRATIVES" marks Jake's first comic book title without his father's writing assistance. Jake decided it was time to work alone on Alternative Narratives while his father focused completely on his other projects.

"Comic book production is a ferocious but rewarding process," Jake Tinsley said.

"It takes an incredible amount of work on everyone's part to get these comics finished - and that's just the writing and editing," Jake said in a recent interview, "After Dad and I finished THAT, our scripts then went to Mark Vuycankiat for art and Diego Vasquez for color on 'Blonde Assassin' and Alex Lopez for art and Mike Stefan for color on 'Alternative Narratives.' And insane number of top-level guest artists helped with the covers."

Phil Lockler, who promotes TINSLEY BOYS projects with Tricia Locker, said both comics are a blast to read.

"Prepare yourselves," Lockler chuckled. "They're coming in HAWT!"

In a storytelling sense, "BLONDE ASSASSIn" and "ALTERNATIVE NARRATIVE" dovetail with one another, Jake explained. There is a loose but undeniable connection between assassin sisters Surrender (The Blonde Assassin) and Monique (The Blonde Bombshell from "ALTERNATIVE NARRATIVES") who each live on alternate earths and each believe the other sister is dead. (Well, actually they ARE, in a WAY, but that's a LONG STORY.)

The online video promotion is available on YouTube at: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=05upLV5OoPs

"Be WARNED: Both of these comic books are more 'Rated R/Adults Only' than most," said Ben Tinsley, a writer, film actor, singer and former journalist.

"These are nowhere near the Rated G or PG stories you might expect reading 'Night Owl,'" Ben Tinsley said. "Jake and I will be working together again on another horror title, 'DJINN STALKERS,' and some really cool other projects. But you'll find with this title that his writers voice is a bit different from mine. Meanwhile, Jake's getting so engaging with his writing. It's a joy to watch him continue to grow."

Jake marvels at the TINSLEY BOYS comic book titles now occupying a virtual spinner Kickstarter rack online - https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/ba3-altnarratives/the-blonde-assassin-3-and-alternative-narratives-1

Jake described it as a menagerie of comic books with little artistic "add-ons" that do with comic books what an ice cream stores do adding nuts, chocolate and other items to flavors such as vanilla.

Inspired by the memory of Jack B. Tinsley, Jake's grandfather and Ben Tinsley's father, the Tinsleys have published an incredible amount of comic book material over the years. In addition to comic books, they produce the one-page, four-panel Night Owl web comic they circulate online for free die for fans.

Jake's work has attracted much attention over the years. When Jake was 14, he was interviewed on The Today Show in recognition of his comic book "Amber Hagerman Deserves Justice: A Night Owl Story," which despite his young age earned him critical acclaim.

Over the years, Jake Tinsley has appeared on numerous news shows, such as FOX, CBS and WFAA. During the "Amber Hagerman Deserves Justice" promotion, he spoke during a live stand-up WFAA news segment that was seen throughout the Dallas Fort Worth area.

Former Texas Gov. Rick Perry named him a "Shining Star of Texas" in response to his work on on the later title "NIGHT OWL: Bullies Deserve Justice."

Now that Ben Tinsley was successful with his previous Blonde Assassin Kickstarter, the TINSLEY BOYS are expanding and in the process of adapting "Night Owl" to film - casting Jake's brother Camden Lee as the flagship hero. But the writing will continue, the Tinsleys said.

That kickstarter, meanwhile, began last week. The TINSLEY BOYS comic books and Blonde Assassin back issues can be purchased at: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/ba3-altnarratives/the-blonde-assassin-3-and-alternative-narratives-1

Your Chance to Own the Lasso of Truth! Rare Wonder Woman Comics and Iconic Movie Props Up for Auction

NEW YORK, N.Y. /ScoopCloud/ -- Wonder Woman, the most popular female superhero, continues her meteoric rise. Her much-anticipated movie sequel, "Wonder Woman 1984," will be released in early fall. But before then, fans and collectors can score a piece of her magic, including original comic books and a one-of-a-kind movie prop, thanks to ComicConnect's August Event Auction. They'll also be able to bid on coveted superhero movie props, which rarely - if ever - come up for auction.

"We've seen again and again that successful superhero movies drive up related comic values-so our winning bidders can expect to see their investments grow," notes Vincent Zurzolo, co-owner of the leading vintage comic book marketplace.

And, he notes, Wonder Woman is special. She's not only as popular as Batman and Superman, she's also an authentic feminist icon.

The creation of Dr. William Moulton Marston, the Amazing Amazon first appeared in comics in 1941. Not surprisingly, her character proved popular with little girls - including feminist activist Gloria Steinem, who, in 1972, put her on the inaugural cover of Ms. magazine, a groundbreaking feminist publication. In 2016, the United Nations named Wonder Woman a UN Honorary Ambassador for the Empowerment of Women and Girls. Her recent movies have brought her even more fans.

Featured Wonder Woman Auction Items

ComicConnect's Event Auction #43 kicks off on August 1 and ends August 24-28. Some of the most anticipated items include:

The Lasso of Truth Movie Prop from "Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice" (Warner Bros., 2016)

This incredibly-rare production item was created for Wonder Woman's first movie appearance. It includes a Certificate of Authenticity from Hero Prop, a highly-respected dealer of movie memorabilia.

The lasso, Wonder Woman's signature weapon, compels those in its grasp to tell the truth. (Ironically, her creator, Dr. Marston, also invented the first lie detector.) It's expected to sell for $15-$20,000.

All Star Comics #8, CGC-graded 9.4

Comics featuring a character's first appearance are typically the most valuable. This 1941 comic marked Wonder Woman's first appearance and is the highest-graded copy in existence. In 2017, it sold for $936,223, so this time it may break $1 million.

Sensation Comics #1, CGC 9.6

This issue marked Wonder Woman's second appearance. This is the single-highest graded CGC-certified copy.

Wonder Woman #6, CGC 9.4

Also the highest-graded copy in existence, this comic marked the first appearance of Cheetah, Wonder Woman's archenemy. It's particularly significant because Cheetah, as played by Kristin Wiig, is featured in the upcoming movie.

Featured Movie Props

As superhero movies have triumphed at the box office, movie props have become another sought-after collectible. These storied rarities - all which come with Certificates of Authenticity - will also be up for auction:
* Thor's Hammer, Mjolnir - One of the most recognizable props in movie history, as wielded by Chris Hemsworth in "Thor: The Dark World" (2013). Anticipated sale price: $30-40,000.
* Captain America's Combat Helmet - As worn by Chris Evans in "Captain America: The First Avenger" (2011). Anticipated sale price: $20-30,000.
* Captain America's USO Heater Shield - The heroes signature weapon, also from "The First Avenger." Anticipated sale price: $25-30,000.
* Deadshot's Wrist Gun Gauntlet from "Suicide Squad" - The very one worn by Will Smith in the 2016 blockbuster. Anticipated sale price: $5-7,000.
* Wolverine's Claws - Flaunted by Hugh Jackman in "X-Men" (2000). Wolverine is one of the most popular characters in the Marvel Universe. Anticipated sale price: $10-15,000.

Comics and Collectibles Continue to Increase in Value

According to Zurzolo, despite the COVID-19 crisis, comic and collectibles sales have been brisk, perhaps as collectors find more time to devote to their collections. Because of the heightened interest in Wonder Woman, he expects to see some record-breaking sales.

After all, one 5.0 graded issue of All Star Comics #8 multiplied 450% in value in three years after Wonder Woman's first big-screen appearance, when the sale price increased from $15,000 in 2013 to $67,000 in 2016.

Those who are interested can follow the bidding in real-time at ComicConnect. In addition to vintage comics, original art, and video games, the auction house has recently expanded to offer original movie props, concert posters and pulp fiction.

New Cooking App Teaches Kids, Parents and Families Recipes, Nutrition, Health, Wellness through Comics and Animation

YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio /ScoopCloud/ -- Black Streak Entertainment, LLC has developed a new mobile cooking app that has changed the way kids and families cook, eat, and view food called the Black Streak Kitchen App. Through this app, the company publishes recipes in the form of comics featuring their original characters that teach kids, teens, parents and families about cooking, nutrition, world cultures, health and wellness.

"There is a need for our app and comics amongst American families and youth," says company CEO, Terry L Raimey. "Parents are cooking less and feeding their families more fast food and takeout. This, of course, has led to rising rates of obesity, type-2 diabetes, and hypertension in adults and even children. Black Streak Kitchen's goal is to teach kids and families how to cook delicious meals, and inform them of the nutritional benefits of the ingredients within each recipe presented."

Black Streak Kitchen accomplishes cooking and nutrition education through comics, animation and the company's free mobile app.

"Using comics and animation to teach cooking makes the information fun and easy to remember," says company President, Justin Raimey. "I'm the comics and animation artist, as well as the app designer, so it was important for me to make the artwork as fun and appealing as possible while keeping true to our message of culinary education, health and nutrition. Think of Black Streak Kitchen Comics as a cooking show, except, the recipes are being presented by comic book characters."

Justin and Terry have even recruited world-renowned celebrity chefs Ed Harris, Robert "Chef Stew" Stewart and Ethan Taylor to write recipes for Black Streak Kitchen Comics and present their recipes within the comics as Black Streak Kitchen Character Chefs.

Black Streak Kitchen Comics are available at https://www.blackstreakkitchen.com/comics/.
