Good morning, Bees fans!
In 2017, you supported The Killer Bees 1, the story of one-half of the classic 1980's tag team, B. Brian Blair! Thank you! Your efforts resulted in more than a thousand copies of Brian's story getting into the hands of fans literally around the world.
Now, we're back to tell the story of the other Killer Bee, Jumping Jim Brunzell, wielder of the highest dropkick in the business!
Jumping Jim's comic comes in three cover varieties. This is the Kickstarter-Exclusive edition!
This volume details the early career of the high-flying wrestler from White Bear Lake, Minnesota, who dazzled the wrestling world with, perhaps, the highest drop kick in the industry. Issue 2 pre-dates the formation of The Killer Bees, focusing on Brunzell's meteoric rise as Minnesota's high school State High Jump Champion, star of the University of Minnesota's football and track teams, and one-half of the 2-time American Wrestling Association World Tag Team Champions, The High Flyers, alongside Greg Gagne.
The over-sized (8" x 10.5") Magazine edition cover!
We need your help to get Jumping Jim's story finished and distributed alongside his partner, so jump over to the Kickstarter pageand select your rewards today!
As always, thanks for supporting independent comics and classic wrestling!
