THE BUZZ AT BEESWAX NEWS...
Thee Bees make their worldwide debut in the new and exciting comic book series:
"W.A.S.P. -vs- KILLER BEES EPISODE 1: BEE READY OR NOT"
"W.A.S.P. -vs- KILLER BEES Episode I: Bee Ready Or Not" will be produced as a 32-page full color comic book from Beeswax News. This is a comic book that the whole family will love. It is humorous, adventurous and wholesome!
The series features Thee Bees. Thee Bees are a bunch of blessed buzzing buddies and bandits from the Deep Dark Rainforest of Brazil. Thee Bees are a combination of Killer Bees and the Winged Allies of Stinging Power (WASP). The Sweet Honey Bees have formed the Winged Allies as a way to stop the super-powered Killer Bees from taking over the jungle and ultimately the world. The story also features the Rumble Bumble Bees and the Strange Humans, (who are responsible for creating the super powered Killer Bees), and a variety of other winged and walking creatures who help support the main cast of characters.
This first episode has plenty of action, slap-stick humor, witty dialogue and funny situations. "W.A.S.P -vs- KILLER BEES" was written with children in mind, but adults will enjoy it too. The whimsical story and colorful pictures will make children smile and laugh. Athough the tale is lengthy, it is fast paced and exciting to read. The idea of Killer Bees and Wasps may sound a bit frightening--but it is all in fun because it is not scary at all. The first episode and following episodes are adventurous and not at all violent. Thee Bees promote good values and offer children a positive, creative and fun way to use their imaginations.
David Bowling and Patricia Hendy Bowling “HeBo” are a husband and wife, writer and artist team and the publishers of Beeswax News. We have a lot of history when it comes to the art of storytelling, writing books, inventing toys and working with children. We are best known for our children's books about a little boy who loves the mud named Dirty Dingy Daryl, and for our Halo Toys handmade soft sculptured dolls, the Dingies. "W.A.S.P. -vs- KILLER BEES" is our first comic book venture and we are really passionate about it.
We are also very excited to have such a great illustrator collaborating on the W.A.S.P. -vs- KILLER BEES series. Diane Johnson is a fantastic artist who has wonderfully "captured" the spirit of Thee Bees! The artwork, by the way, is hand-drawn and hand colored using honey based watercolors.
