Release #1 - THE ACTUAL, SEMI-TRUE ADVENTURES OF MARK AND DEE #1

WELCOME TO COLUMBUS, INDIANA, and meet the city's most unusual couple: Mark C. Dooley, a wide-eyed wonderer seeking to become a successful comic book creator, and Deena K. Dooley, a country-bred, no-nonsense tomboy who is the caretaker of whatever common sense they have between them. They've gone through the mill of teenage romance, through break-ups, reunions, life-changing illnesses, and even doubts that they could take the next big step. But take it they did, and now, with the aid of their good friends at Columbus' cultural watering hole, the Comic Cave, they make their way through life's tragedies and triumphs, trying to make their dreams come true. By now, you probably have guessed this is a super-hero comic. We just don't wear the union suits.

"Mackin' at the Movies" As an introduction to their world, Mark and Deena Dooley take their readers to the movies. Mind you, it's not a very good movie... "Semi-True Romance" Mark introduces the readers to the Comic Cave Gang: super RPGers Stephen and Toby, resident TV historian Jamal Thoroughgood, and co-manager Mickey "The Wookie" Walton. Mickey is fresh off a nasty divorce, and he's convinced that love is no longer his to have. But there's an eastern wind coming in, in the form of Liverpudlian Tandy Breckenridge. "Inspirations" Mark and Dee get an invitation to a huge mid-western comic convention... and not as added security.
