Press Release
This summer, the comic book series that launched a company returns. Three years ago Big Dog Ink creator/writer/editor Tom Hutchison printed a few thousand copies of the #1 issue of an unknown comic book… and then promptly printed thousands more when the first edition sold out in comic book stores around the country. Penny for Your Soul: War was a smash hit, and helped launch not only Tom’s career, but a comic book publishing company. This summer, hot on the heels of best-selling Joan of Arc: From the Ashes, Penny for Your Soul returns with the third installment of this smash-hit series, Penny for Your Soul: Death!
Tom Hutchison returns to delve even further into the story of Danica, the granddaughter of the Devil, as she continues to claim her place in the age old battle of good vs. evil, and carve out her roll in the end of days battle between Heaven and Hell! Which side will she choose? Why her own of course, but she won’t be doing it by herself. Longtime friends will return, along with new companions, and the sarcastic, snappy, sexy but always smart, story that fans have come to expect from Big Dog Ink’s guilty pleasure in a comic book!
