Follow on Google News | Author Tony Cooper releases British superhero comic bookBy: Tony Cooper 
"Powerless: Some Kind of Hero" cover It is a 24 page, full-colour comic, written and drawn by Tony Cooper himself, and is set in Britain, featuring characters taken from the self-published "Powerless" and "Killing Gods" superhero novels. The comic completed a successful Kickstarter campaign in January/February of this year (see link below). The digital version of the comic is available on Amazon, DriveThruComics, Gumroad and Etsy. A physical copy can also be purchased on Etsy and at the Science Fiction convention Mancunicon this coming Easter weekend. ABOUT THE COMIC The comic is a one-off, self-contained story based on characters and situations from the self-published superhero novels "Powerless" and "Killing Gods" - "What would it be like to have incredible powers but not be able to tell anybody? You can't tell anybody, because if you did you would lose your job, your friends, your family would probably disown you, and you would more than likely end up in prison for concealing your abilities. Hayley Turner is a policewoman by day, a teleporting Hero by night. She hides her abilities from everyone she knows, unable (by law) to use them in public, and is growing frustrated. At night, however, she gets to be someone else. Working alongside her mentor Martin (an old 90s Hero she saved from certain death), they target organised crime. He is the only person she can trust in, the only person she can talk to. She finally has some sense of purpose, but is it enough to resolve all of the conflicts she hides inside herself?"
