Michael Kingston, author of the wrestling comic book, "Headlocked: Work of Art" issued the following press release to the Torch.

Since its release on October 31, Headlocked: Work of Art has garnered near unanimous praise from both the wrestling and the comic book world. The book was hailed as "one of the year's best comics" in a 5 star review from Silver Bullet Comics and as "a non-condescending and realistic view of the world of rasslin’" from the Encyclopedia of Wrestling Comics.

Kingston's myspace page features pictures and quotes from a variety of wrestlers endorsing the book including Samoa Joe, Greg Valentine, Shawn Daivari, Chris Hero, Justin Credible, Dawn Marie, Blue Meanie, and Sara Del Rey. Based on the initial response, a new mini-series has been greenlit by publisher AAM/Markosia and is currently in production.

So while the book has been very well received it has become very difficult to find on the shelves. If you missed out on the initial offering of Headlocked: Work of Art for whatever reason, it is still possible to obtain a first printing of the book.

If the book seems like something you might enjoy, then head over to your local comic shop (if you don't know where that is, go to www.comicshoplocator.com and type in your zip code) or an online retailer (like www.midtowncomics.com) and ask them to re-order you a copy of Headlocked: Work of Art. It's published by Markosia and the order code is AUG073844.

With a bright future and a low initial print run, Headlocked:Work of Art seems primed to become a collector's item. Kingston already has some big surprises lined up for the next series so he advises people to get their re-orders in for Headlocked: Work of Art before they're all gone.
