After attending San Diego Comic-Con 2025 I was fortunate to attend the announcement of the official Evel Knievel comic’s promotional campaign. I created this IMPERFEComic<\/em><\/strong> over the summer of 2025 upon my return from the convention – that’s how inspired I was that one Rylend Grant had undertaken the task of bringing the iconic stuntman to the comic page. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Supporting the project’s Kickstarter campaign was a given. According to my membership number in the Evel Knievel Brass Balls Society<\/em><\/strong> (see below) I was backer number three. The book arrived some time ago but I’ve only just had the chance to open up the reward package. Look at all the cool swag!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
