Courtesy of Oni Press, AIPT can share a preview of Down, Set, Fight! a series by Chad Bowers, Chris Sims, and Scot Kowalchuk. The new deluxe anniversary hardcover edition with all-new cover art will be released on June 25th.
“Down, Set, Fight! is a father and son story” said co-writer Chad Bowers. “That’s what connected with readers back then and still does today. Unless I’m completely out of touch, fighting with your folks is still more commonplace than a knock-down drag-out with a rage-fueled mascot. And not for nothing, but we were waaaay ahead of the ‘ridiculous things to bet on’ curve. Before Draft Kings, there was Down, Set, Fight!”
“Chad and I have written a lot of comics, but very few of them are as personal and driven by an emotional core as this one, where we made Scott draw a man hitting a guy dressed like a bear with a frying pan and then setting him on fire,” said co-writer Chris Sims.
Check out the preview below.
In Down, Set, Fight!, “Fearless” Chuck Fairlane was football’s fastest rising star, but his career came to a screeching halt when he was expelled from the league after goin’ HAM and causing the biggest brawl in the history of sports. Years later, Chuck has found peace as a high school football coach, until costumed mascots begin attacking him for seemingly no reason. Before long, Chuck’s going to discover that you can’t run away from the past—but you CAN punch it square in the face!
