13 DAYS OF SUPER WEIRD HEROES: Kismet — Man of Fate!

No, not Manos: The Hands of Fate. It’s the questionably attired Kismet: Man of Fate, the world’s first Muslim superhero — published by a team of Jewish creators!

The first volume of Super Weird Heroes, a collection of outrageously outlandish superhero stories is coming your way 11/16 from Yoe Books and IDW — and we’re serializing some of the niftiest parts for what we like to cleverly call … 13 DAYS OF SUPER WEIRD HEROES!

The book (which you can pre-order here) features 320 pages of unintentionally campy superheroing. Each character gets a historical profile and complete story. So every day for 13 days, we’ll be featuring the likes of Captain Hadacol, Cat-Man, Nature Boy and the Hand — straight from the book! We’ll be showing off Craig Yoe’s rundown of the character, a splash page and full page from the character’s story.
