“Simply put, you need Robot 13 in your hands, and the guy you buy your comics from needs it in his (or her) store. Trust me, neither of you will regret the decision.”

Lady Action Special #1, by Tony Lee and Jake Minor will be on sale  December 30, 2009. At that time, the comic will still be offered online, but at the standard $.99 price.

“We think fans will be very impressed by this sneak peak of Lady Action.  It’s a cool story with some surprises and strong art,” said Ed Catto of Captain Action Enterprises, LLC.

The special showcases an espionage adventure featuring the sexy British spy, Lady Action.  While she is a part of the Captain Action mythos, fans need not keep up with regular series to enjoy this done-in-one adventure.

The story is penned by British writer Tony Lee.  Known for his wit and sense of style, both in his writing and his international jet-setting, Lee balances excitement with a wry sense of sardonic humor.  “One thing the comics world has been missing recently is a beautiful, kick-ass, sarcastic and sultry temptress who can shoot the wings off a fly and kill a man with her thumbs. Oh, and did I mention that she just has to be British…?”, said Lee.

Newcomer Jake Minor supplies the art that both looks gorgeous and moves the tale along at a breakneck pace.

The Lady Action Special will certainly delight toy collectors as well. Michael Eury, the celebrated author of TwoMorrow’s recent coffee table book, “Captain Action: The Original Super Hero Action Figure”  provides an analysis of the ultra-rare Super Queens” toys, Ideal’s 1968 sister line to Captain Action.  “It’s a fun, light, Maxim-style article, except here the pictures of the hot girls are real dolls, “ joked author Michael Eury.

“Let’s face it – it’s been a tough year for everyone. This free comic is also meant to be a nice little present for the fans who’ve made our Captain Action reintroduction such a success”, said Captain Action’s Ed Catto. ”And, of course, if fans then want to buy the floppy, or tell their friends about it, we’re appreciative of the buzz, too.

Beyond being a nice gift for the fans, we also wanted retailers to be able to preview this comic.  It’s a no-risk way for comic shop owners to see if this comic is right for their clientele.  And we think they’ll really like this one” said Gentile.

“The new year looks to be full of action”, promised Captain Action’s Joe Ahearn. We have the Phantom/Captain Action team-up, our CA Special and ‘Season 2’ Captain Action series all slated for Spring 2010.”
