El Tigre was the best, a legendary luchador who was a hero in the ring and out. But an act of treachery left him defeated and disillusioned, and El Tigre retreated from Mexico to live an anonymous life in New York City's Spanish Harlem. In Strongman, a new graphic novel by Charles Soule and Allen Gladfelter to be published by SLG Publishing in March, El Tigre, now throwing wrestling matches to men twenty years his junior for drinking money, takes a final shot at redemption. When a beautiful young woman begs for his help in breaking up an organ trafficking ring, El Tigre has to find the hero that has lain dormant within him for forty years.

Editorial Reviews
Review
It's great...! It's really fantastic. [Gladfelter's] draftsmanship is so clean, [his] cartooning so deceptively simple but always right on target. The script is tight and engaging, hitting all the genre beats but never feeling mechanical. The dialog is a total joy to read! [Soule and Gladfelter] really bring something to every single character, even the bit parts are filled with fully realized people. The whole thing is super sharp... I really, really dug it, and tore through it without stopping, in one sitting, while other graphic novels by famous comic book cats were piled all around me half-read. --Josh Dysart, writer of BPRD 1946 and Unknown Soldier
The easiest thing to say about STRONGMAN is it has heart. But it does. It really does. First you start reading, then you start rooting, and then...you'll see. --Brad Meltzer, writer of DC's Identity Crisis and suspense novel author
Strongman delivers in the ring and out... It packs an emotional punch. A well-told story of redemption. Soule and Gladfelter pour their hearts into Strongman and it shows on every single page. Truly wonderful. --Jimmy Palmiotti, writer of Jonah Hex

Delightfully suprising...,

This review is from: Strongman (Paperback)
I didn't know what to expect when I picked up this little treasure, other than a crime fighting luchadore. However, after reading this book, I was amazed by the amount of quality characterization the author was able to pack into a mere 120 pages. The art is spot on. The cityscapes are well modeled and the artist seems to really have an understanding on how to use zipatones effectively. Soule and Gladfelter have a great future together as a collaborative team.
