The Comic Book Story of Professional Wrestling by Aubrey Sitterson
From the host of the critically acclaimed pro wrestling podcast Straight Shoot, this graphic novel-style history of wrestling features the key grapplers, matches, and promotions that shaped this beloved sport and form of entertainment. As a pop culture phenomenon, professional wrestling--with its heroic babyfaces and villainous heels performing suplexes and powerbombs in pursuit of championship gold--has conquered audiences in the United States and around the world. Now, writer/podcaster Aubrey Sitterson and illustrator Chris Moreno form a graphic novel tag team to present wrestling's complete illustrated history. Featuring legendary wrestlers like Bruno Sammartino, Hulk Hogan, and The Rock, and modern-day favorites like John Cena, Kenny Omega, and Sasha Banks, the book covers wrestling's progress from the carnival days of the Gold Dust Trio to the dominance of the WF/WE to today's diverse independent wrestling scene, and it spotlights wrestling's reach into Mexico/Puerto Rico (lucha libre), the U.K. (all-in), and Japan (puroresu).
Aubrey Sitterson is a freelance comic writer, whose most recent work, The Comic Book Story of Professional Wrestling, is available everywhere, including local bookstores, comic shops, and online retailers like Amazon.
Aubrey has written comics for all of the industry's top publishers - Marvel, DC, Image, Dark Horse IDW, Oni, Dynamite and Viz - but some of his most popular work was on the G.I. Joe franchise, including the Street Fighter x G.I. Joe crossover, the ongoing G.I. Joe series, and Scarlett's Strike Force. Aubrey also wrote and performed the sword & sorcery serial podcast SKALD from April 2015 to April 2018, without missing a single week.
