JIM KRUEGER TO
"STAND-IN" AT
ARDDEN ENTERTAINMENT
| Ardden
Entertainment is proud to annouce that bestselling
AVENGERS/INVADERS and SUPERPOWERS scribe Jim Krueger has joined
the Ardden team and will be penning the four-issue spy thriller
mini-series THE STAND-IN, with art by Alex Cal, who has worked
on THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN FAMILY for Marvel and drew the NORTH
WIND mini-series for Boom! Studios.
THE STAND-IN chronicles the adventures of Dexter Laumb, a talented but troubled and out-of-work actor who's desperate for money. When he's offered a job to "stand in" for a low level Senator who has double-booked two events for the same evening, Dexter is excited by the prospective paycheck and thinks the job will be a breeze. Hair dye and make-up transform Laumb into a virtual double of Senator Joe Murphy. |
|
However, he soon
realizes that he's bitten off more than he can chew when he's partnered with
one of the Senator's senior aides, beautiful but acid-tongued Jennifer
Forsythe. The two quietly go at it like cats and dogs while Dexter acts the
part of the Senator, schmoozing and boozing as necessary. However, when a
bullet rips through Dexter's shoulder and the crowd scatters, he soon finds
himself on the run with Jennifer, attempting to unravel the truth behind the
assassination attempt, and finding himself in the middle of a conspiracy
with earth-shattering consequences…
Brendan Deneen, Ardden's co-publisher, comments, "It is a huge honor to be
working with one of the most successful comic book writers currently working
in the medium. I've known Jim for years and we've been trying to find
something to work on together that whole time. THE STAND-IN is the perfect
collaboration and I feel privileged that he's publishing it through Ardden."
Ardden will be debuting THE STAND-IN #0 at the New York Comic-Con in
February 2009. The issue will feature an action-packed story that takes
places before the events of the mini-series. Alex Cal's cover for THE
STAND-IN #0 was inspired by John Byrne's classic cover for UNCANNY X-MEN
#141.
