MASKED MACHER (2024)

It's the 1930s and aspiring actor Tony Hollywood is about to make his big break! He’s finally got an audition for the role that will change his life, but a flat tire sends him to a different stage. Breaking down outside a wrestling arena lands him a new part to play… the Masked Macher! Hey, it pays (even if no one knows what a “macher” is). • A hilarious new story from David A. Goodman! • Four issue series.

Fresh off of losing the part that could have been his big break, Tony decides to lean in to the role he lucked into as The Masked Macher, wrestler extraordinaire! Fame and success can come when you least expect it, especially for a wrestler who has to face a literal bear in the ring!

After the Masked Macher's publicity stunt with the bear backfires, Tony Hollywood seeks out other avenues to fame and fortune. It only leads to more trouble, this time with a wrestler known as "The Sheik." Adding to his troubles, a reporter who interviewed him ends up dead, and so now instead of adoring fans, Tony's got the attention of the police.

Tony thinks his role as the Masked Macher has finally gotten him what he wants—an invitation to join something called “The Famous Men Club”.  Although it’s not what he thinks, he’s now faced with a decision.  Meanwhile, Wang has to help Benny wrestle with something a little more serious than a choke hold, and the cops make an arrest of someone we love in the murder of Happy the reporter. • Series finale!
