TRACE ADKINS FEATURED IN 12 GAUGE TITLE

12 Gauge Comics has announced a November launch for Luke McBain, a four-issue series featuring a tough Southern hero that is based on the platinum-selling country recording artist Trace Adkins.

Writer David Tischman created the idea with 12 Gauge publisher Keven Gardner, and they spent time with Adkins to make sure McBain felt authentic.

The title character is drawn to Adkins' likeness and reflects some of the 6-foot-6 singer's philosophy. The story takes place when McBain returns home to rural Louisiana after serving 14 years in prison, having taken the fall for a crime he didn't commit. He finds himself in a town now controlled by greed and corruption, and he's the only one with the courage to set things right.

"The McBain character became kind of a reflection of Trace Adkins' entertainment persona," Tischman said. "It breathes a real-life personality into the fictional character which is something we wanted. Trace helped a lot with that, and it's something that I think we've worked hard to write into the character."

The series features artwork by Kody Chamberlain and covers by Brian Stelfreeze.

The first issue hits stores across North America in November to coincide with Adkins' tour.
