The Geek In Me Rejoices

by at 6:47 pm.

I just think this is so cool! Local comic book artists! It is just nifty.

Editor-in-Chief Patrick Cook, illustrator Kris Carter and publisher Larry Doherty (the Larry of Larry’s Comics) have formed their own comic company, Wicked Good Comics. Their debut, The Original Nine, will be unveiled this weekend for what Cook calls “the real test.”

Wicked Good’s The Original Nine has storylines that take place with one foot in Boston, the other more than three centuries ago.

And in homage to their hometown, the publishing trio plans to create for Lowell its own comic-book hero in 2006.

The initial reaction to Wicked Good from the comic community has been, like comic book justice, swift and positive, says Cook.

I might just have to pick myself up a copy! I’m not obsessed with comic books, but I know plenty of people who are. I love’s me a good super hero story, though.

  1. No one you know Says:

    In Lowell, everything, even comic books, is politics!

    Pat Cook, former employee of The Sun, former Communications Director for Lowell Police, former Aide to Congressman Marty Meehan, younger brother of Jim Cook. Jim Cook is Executive Director of the Lowell Plan.

    Larry Dougherty, son of Larry Dougherty former Lowell Housing Authority Commissioner and owner of the only sign shop in the area politicians use for lawn signs, bumper stickers and raffle tickets in order to get the union “bug” printed on them.

    Carter I don’t know.

    What does all this mean, beats me, just found it interesting.
    :-)

    That is extremely interesting. Maybe these connected comic writers and artists would be a good bunch to get to know. :)

    I am really eager to understand more about the Lowell Plan, actually.

  3. Larry Doherty Says:

    Sorry..it would be great if we had some master plan to take over the city and
    cause all kinds of political trouble but,
    its just a funny book…honest…a pretty cool one too!
    Feel free to come down to my 16 year old Lowell Business…
    sit on a comfy couch and
    read it for free!

    I’ll have this city’s higher-ups in my pocket by the end of the next quarter.
