Marc Jackson’s “Ka-Punch!” Comes to Comic Heroes

By John Freeman on December 15, 2015

Anarchic comic creator Marc Jackson‘s new comic strip ‘KA-PUNCH!’ is to launch in the January issue of Comic Heroes magazine.

The first appearance runs to two full pages and the following issues will feature single pages strips.

“The story will continue from issue to issue,” Marc tells us, “but because Comic Heroes only comes out quarterly, they will be nicely contained too, for the casual reader.

“It’s a goofy new super-hero comic about a young boy called Wally Waffle,” he reveals, “who gets three wishes from the mysterious Gene the Space genie and all manner of hi-jinks ensue after he makes his choices!

“I pitched it to editor Will Salmon a few months ago, as a cross between Adam West’s Batman and Adventure Time and he was really into it. The rest is comic book history!”
