Professional Wrestler Christopher Daniels makes his comic book debut in “Aw Yeah Comics”
By Elliott Serrano (http://www.redeyechicago.com)
The last time I spoke with him, Christopher Daniels was swinging through Chicago as part of the “Ring of Honor” wrestling promotion. Now the self-professed comic book geek – and one-half of the wrestling tag team known as “Bad Influence” – is back in town. This time though, it’s not to wrestle but to promote his new comic book, a special edition that he wrote for Chicago-based publisher “Aw Yeah Comics.”
This week has seen Daniels appearing at “Challengers Comics and Conversation” in Chicago, as well as the “Aw Yeah Comics” comic shop in Skokie, to promote and sign copies of his new book. This weekend he’ll be appearing at the Chicago Comic and Entertainment Expo (C2E2) to do the same.
We spoke by phone earlier this week to discuss the comic book; the differences between comics and pro wrestling; and whether comics have replaced wrestling as his greatest passion:
Elliott Serrano: Hey Chris, how are you doing?
Christopher Daniels: All is well man, I’ve got some good things happening and I’m looking forward to the next couple of weeks to see how the comic book is received.
ES: Tell me a little bit about it. Where did the genesis of your partnership with Aw Yeah Comics start?
