The Comic Book Story of Professional Wrestling covers the entirety of wrestling history, from the carnival days up to the present, so of course we had to dedicate a chapter to one of The One True Sport’s most beloved and fondly remembered eras: The 1980s Golden Age.

Go visit our friends at ComicBook.com for a three page preview featuring Hulk Hogan, Roddy Piper, Ric Flair, Dusty Rhodes, Harley Race, Ricky Steamboat, and, of course, Cyndi Lauper.

The Comic Book Story of Professional Wrestling is by Chris Moreno and myself, with colors by Len O’Grady, Brad Simpson, Allen Passalaqua & Jay Moreno, and letters by Rus Wooton. It will be available everywhere on October 2, but you can and should pre-order the book on Amazon or via your favorite local bookstore. Your local comic shop can also get it for you – bring them Diamond order code AUG182219 to have them pre-order it!
