The Masked Macher

A struggling actor will take any opportunity that comes knocking…and lucks into an opportunity to be a pro wrestler!

It's the 1930s and aspiring actor Tony Hollywood is about to make his big break! He’s finally got an audition for the role that will change his life, but a flat tire sends him to a different stage. Breaking down outside a wrestling arena lands him a new part to play… the Masked Macher!  Tony quickly learns there’s a lot more to this wrestling gig than meets the eye, but hey, it pays.

Written by David A. Goodman (The Orville, Space Job) with art by Alex Andrés.

David A. Goodman has been writing professionally since 1988, when he was hired as a staff writer on The Golden Girls.  Since then, he has worked on over twenty television series, including Star Trek: Enterprise, Futurama, Family Guy, American Dad, and the upcoming Hysteria! for Peacock.  His recent movie, Honor Society, won the WGA Award for best TV and New Media Motion Picture.  He also was an Executive Producer and writer for Seth MacFarlane’s The Orville, and while there he simultaneously wrote the Dark Horse tie-in comic. This led him to create his own sci-fi graphic novel Space Job, as well as The Masked Macher. In addition, he penned three Star Trek tie-in books, Federation: The First 150 Years, The Autobiography of James T. Kirk, and The Autobiography of Jean-Luc Picard. He has also been a leader of his union, the Writers Guild of America West, where he served two terms as President.

After finishing high school, Alex Andrés got an arts degree in the School of Art in Zaragoza (Spain). He received a solid base that helped him improve his art, but they didn’t teach much about comics. For that, he decided to enroll in the Comic Art course from BLACKFOLIO where he was finally able to learn all he wanted about comics from other Spanish creators. After that, Alex hasn’t stopped drawing for a single day making test-pages to learn the correct way to tell a story, looking for new opportunities and improving his art. He has collaborated with Power Rangers (INKBUBBLE STUDIOS) making short stories,fanzines and covers. Alex hopes he can continue growing in the future.
