Creating a comic book has been a dream of mine since I could hold a crayon. So, when COVID hit and I was on paternity leave, I dedicated myself to making TIGHTS a reality. Today, I’m proud to say that our creative team has delivered three books that are beyond my wildest expectations.
TIGHTS Issues #1-3 can be purchased at TightsComicBook.com and in-store at various comic shops around SF and LA.
The world is recovering from second major pandemic. Global economies are in the toilet, crime rates approach record highs, and now everyday superheroes, aka “Tights,” have emerged in an attempt to right society’s wrongs.
Unfortunately, most of these Tights don’t have any professional crime-fighting skills to speak of, let alone superpowers. No, they’re out-of-work regular Joe and Jane vigilantes who often find themselves clogging up the criminal justice system and fighting a losing battle against law and order. That's why they're a particular pain in the ass for our protagonist—the young, brash, anti-Tights federal judge, OLIVER ANDREWS.
But when Oliver is blackmailed by a group of Tights into helping them take down San Francisco’s major crime syndicates, he will ultimately find himself becoming the very thing he hates most—a superhero.
TIGHTS can be read and enjoyed by just about any adult, but it’s written for those of us who love dark humor, pop culture Easter eggs, and painfully relatable characters.
TIGHTS is a full-color, mature (and quite a bit immature), original comic book. The first story arc will be comprised of 6 issues, culminating in a Volume 1 trade paperback (all 6 issues plus some fun extras).
