Check out The Chili! New Markosia title on sale soon

By John Freeman on 18 February 2012

On sale at the London SuperCon next weekend is The Chili, a new trade paperback from UK indie publisher Markosia, featuring the talents of ace British creator Nigel Dobbyn as colourist.

Created by Christian Rodríguez, like many comic book fans, young Mike Alvarez dreams of one day drawing his favourite heroes and working with legends like Stan “The Man” Lee. Those dreams change rapidly when Mike accidentally illustrates the blank pages of a magical compendium, thus transforming him into the mighty Chili!

Join Mike, his sidekick Skip and the most bizarre villains you’ve ever encountered, as our unlikely hero fights for all of humanity against the diabolical Taco Bravo!

This mix of comedy and action will dare you to ask: Do you believe in comics?
