Glorious Wrestling Alliance: Ultimate Championship Edition
£9.99
Graphic Universe’s full colour release of GWA! Read Glorious Wrestling Alliance in its Ultimate form.
Step into the ring at Glorious Wrestling Alliance, the universe’s least-professional wrestling company. The Great Carp, an amphibious wonder, is feeling the weight of his championship. Miranda Fury has donned a mask to smash wrestling’s glass ceiling. And Gravy Train is desperate for a new gimmick, but it’s hard when you’re shaped like a giant gravy boat.
Collected in colossal full color for the first time, Josh Hicks’s cult-hit comic covers identity, anxiety, and leg drops. In this hilarious love letter to the surreal theater of pro wrestling, the insecure grapplers of GWA lock up, throw things, throw each other, and occasionally curl up into little balls.
PRAISE FOR GLORIOUS WRESTLING ALLIANCE
“Spine-crushing fun.” – Kirkus
“A kinetic spectacle of leg drops, championship title matches, and anxiety that captures the glory of sports entertainment.” – Comics Beat
“Imagine an epic wrestling match between the lust for life of Scott Pilgrim and the comic self-loathing of Bojack Horseman where we’re all winners.” – Kieron Gillen (writer, Wicked + Divine, X-Men, Young Avengers)
“Hicks does a tremendous job satirizing professional wrestling […] every facet of pro wrestling, from art to ego to commerce, gets as hot at the title with Josh’s witty dialogue and vibrant art.” – Christopher Daniels (wrestling legend)
