KANDORA PUBLISHING FOR JUNE

MONARCH OF MANHATTAN #1

Written by C. Edward Sellner, art by H.G. Young, colors by Transparency Digital.

Shakalla was to become the Warrior-King of the mightiest empire of his world, a realm vaster than any empire in the history of our civilization. He would stand among men like Alexander the Great, Julius Caesar, and Shaka Zulu, but he lost his world and his throne. Exiled as a boy, he waged a lifelong war against the wizard who usurped his place, hounding him until a final confrontation saw his enemy flee into a mystic portal. Not to be denied his vengeance, he leapt after him...and landed in Central Park, 2005. That was when things got a little...weird.

Tossed into a strange new world, Shakalla still seeks his archenemy, the wizard known as Daemonn Thornne, but first, can he manage the New York transit? Get ready for a high-octane, fast-paced, outrageous adventure that will make you laugh, give you thrills and keep you on the edge of your seat.

In this issue: Shakalla's in DA HOUSE! After his arrival in Central Park, and his first encounter with the gang known as the Manhattan Kings, Shakalla starts to learn about this strange place called Manhattan. Meanwhile, Harold Harrington tries getting used to Shakalla! Think how a 6'6", spear-wielding, emperor-to-be, wizard hunter would screw up your day? And you will not believe who the wizard really is?
