Hold onto your hat, because we’re proud to announce the next Instant Classic of the Action Age of Comics: The Chronicles of Solomon Stone!
That’s right: The Action Age has acquired the license to Christopher J. Sims’s epic modern fantasy series, and now the team that brought you Exterminape and Boxcar Dragon: Hobo Ninja has reunited for an all-new story of the world’s greatest half-vampire private detective!
“I’m absolutely stoked to be working with the Action Age,” said writer/creator Christopher J. Sims, whose two-fisted tales of supernatural mysteries could, if ever actually published, potentially outsell the Harry Potter and Twlight series combined. “I’ve always wanted to bring new stories of Solomon, Minxy Flatbush, and the rest of the gang to the comics page, and while there’s been an incredible amount of interest from certain marvelous publishers, distinguished competitors, and… dark.. horses, I think I’ve found the perfect home for the series here at AAC.”
Art for the series will be handled by Action Age mainstay Matthew Allen Smith, who couldn’t be more excited about the project. “Look, I really shouldn’t even be talking to you right now,” said the English Dynamo on a rare break. “Sims said he was going to build his fortune on my tears, and when he finds out I’m not drawing, he… says things.”
The Chronicles of Solomon Stone will be a full-length original story featuring lettering by Benjamin Birdie, told in three eight-page chapters, and coming soon to ActionAgeComics.com!

“Everybody must get Stone!”
That’s my back jacket blurb for you.

I edited a paper that used, “like a cumberstone around his neck.”
I dare not take this theme further.

I still say every Action Age comic should come with a text piece for Solomon Stone.

My dream is coming closer to fruition! One more publisher on board and I can *finally* write my Solomon Stone/Glenn Mandible slash fiction!
Kudos to you, sir.

Man if only I could intimidate an artist so much… I mean, awesome! Can’t wait.
