San Diego, CA (December 18, 2018) \u2014\u00a0IDW<\/strong>\u00a0Publishing<\/strong>\u00a0enters the world of hairspray and headlocks with the announcement of a four-issue comic book miniseries based on\u00a0GLOW<\/em><\/strong>, the acclaimed Netflix Original comedy series.<\/p>\n

Debuting in March, the\u00a0GLOW<\/em>\u00a0comic is written by\u00a0Tini Howard<\/strong>\u00a0(Euthanauts<\/em>,\u00a0WWE<\/em>,\u00a0Rick & Morty<\/em>) and drawn by\u00a0Hannah Templer<\/strong>\u00a0(Jem and the Holograms: Dimensions<\/em>).\u00a0Liz Flahive<\/strong>and\u00a0Carly Mensch<\/strong>, the co-creators of the show, will officially serve as executive producers of the original comics, overseeing their creative development.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe’re thrilled to work with IDW to bring new stories to life on the page and in the ring. Can we smoosh 14 women into a little frame? Only time will tell… but we couldn’t be more excited!\u201d say Liz Flahive and Carly Mensch.<\/p>\n

Starring Alison Brie, Betty Gilpin, and Marc Maron,\u00a0GLOW<\/em>\u00a0shines the spotlight on a crew of misfits in mid-1980s Los Angeles who reinvent themselves as the Gorgeous Ladies Of Wrestling. IDW\u2019s\u00a0GLOW<\/em>\u00a0miniseries provides a glimpse into the action between-the-scenes, as the less-than-prepared ladies are conned into a fundraising match\u2026 against\u00a0real<\/em>\u00a0lady wrestlers!<\/p>\n

\u201cI’m more than just a\u00a0GLOW<\/em>\u00a0fan, I’m a wrestling fan, too. I’ve written wrestling comics before, and I adore it,\u201d says Tini Howard. \u201cWrestling and comic books are a natural fit for more than just tights and fights. Each of the gorgeous ladies has either developed her own character or adapted to one thrust upon her, and making that identity her own is not dissimilar to, say, putting on a bat costume.\u201d<\/p>\n

Hannah Templer says, \u201cI\u2019m absolutely thrilled about the visual opportunities a\u00a0GLOW<\/em>\u00a0comic offers \u2013 there is a wealth of inspiration to be drawn from \u201980s animation, fashion, and even wrestling magazines. I also think\u00a0GLOW<\/em>, which takes real-world conflicts and settles them within the fantasy of the wrestling ring, provides a really fun arena for expressiveness and visual play!\u201d<\/p>\n
