JOHNNY DELGADO IS DEAD GN 120 Pages/FC 14.99 Written by: John Leekley & Michael D. Olmos Art: Chris Moreno Colors: JM Ringuet Cover: Chris Moreno & JM Ringuet Since they were kids, Johnny Delgado and Victor Reyes were closer than brothers. They lived in a rough Phoenix Latino neighborhood where, to stay clear of street gangs, they spent their days after school in a local motorcycle shop. The shop's mystical proprietor, Gus, taught the boys ballads of Los Banditos – two avenging gunslingers who roamed Mexican Border towns hunting down those who preyed on the weak and innocent. As the legend goes, if one Bandito were to be killed, the other would assume his soul, so they would both live on to seek justice... and two would become One. When Johnny, now an Assistant U.S. Attorney, is brutally murdered by drug lords, his best friend, Victor, now a Special Forces officer, returns from war in Afghanistan and assumes his identity, intent on seeking vengeance against all those who are guilty. Now, justice will be served--Johnny Delgado has returned! The spirit of Zorro has risen again... not on a stallion, but a Harley. Now, for the first time, this 120 page graphic novel direct from the minds of John Leekley, the Emmy award winning Executive Producer/Writer of Spawn: The HBO Animated Series and Michael D. Olmos, director of the Dark Horse feature film Splinter, contains the complete version of the critically acclaimed series. Featured are over 48 pages of new material, including the unpublished final chapter of the Johnny Delgado saga, plus artwork from the online trailer, original character designs and a host of other exciting bonus features.
