Professional wrestling and comic boos seem like a natural fit. Michael kingston apparently thought so. Kingston is the creator of Headlocked, a comic book based on professional wrestling which debuted in 2007.
The main character is a college student who drops out to pursue a career in pro wrestling. We get to view wrestling through his eyes. It is a great story with beautiful graphics created by pro wrestlers, including Jerry "the King" Lawler.
Kingston was very passionate about his creation when I talked to him. As a creative wrestling fan, he is able to tell a realistic story and an interesting one. Headlocked was a real hit at Wizard World. Kingston did a great job of promoting Headlocked to everyone (not just wrestling fans).
