Bodie Troll Stalks Goats in April

You never know when a goat-eating troll is on the prowl. It's bad enough farmers have to worry about wolves, foxes and other barnyard predators; throwing a troll into the mix is just uncalled for. Unless that troll is cute and cuddly like Bodie Troll, the main character of the new comic of the same name from Red 5 comics, written and created by Jay P. Fosgitt.

“Fans of such classic works as Jay Ward's ‘Fractured Fairy Tales’, Jim Henson's ‘Muppets’, and Maurice Sendak's ‘Where the Wild Things Are’ will feel at home in the wild, warm and whimsical romp of Bodie's adventures,” said Fosgitt.
Bodie will be introduced to Red 5 Comic’s largest-ever audience as he will share pages with Atomic Robo in this May’s Free Comic Book Day issue. Retailers will want to have copies of Bodie Troll #1 on hand for the event.

In the fairytale village of Hagadorn lurks Bodie Troll, a fuzzy little grump who wants to be big and scary, but is doomed to be cute and cuddly. But what Bodie lacks in terror he makes up for in mischief. Silly and suspenseful adventures await just beyond his bridge.

Red 5 wants to make sure you can snag a copy of Bodie Troll when it hits stores on April 17. Basically, get with the pre-ordering before February 28 with order code FEB131119.
