Vreckless Vrestlers on ComiXology Platform
Łukasz Kowalczuk’s comic Vreckless Vrestlers has hit the digital ComiXology platform. It tells the story of an interdimensional wrestling league in which the only rule is the absence of rules.
The comic is 20 pages long and costs $0,99 or €0,89. "It is a tribute to the pop culture of the ‘80s and ‘90s - to wrestling, toys, cartoons, picture stories and games. Those are things that still give me a lot of joy and will always be a great inspiration. The comic is almost completely devoid of dialogue - Wrestlers fight, they don’t talk! The premiere book tells the story of travelling through time and space and gives a chance to meet the new players. I will reveal that in the next issue, among others, there will be a fratricidal fight between two athletes from Eastern Europe - Crimean Crab and The Eye."- explains Łukasz Kowalczuk.

Vreckless Vrestlers is to be a series. ComiXology allows you to buy the first issue, numbered zero. Another episode has already been accepted for publication, but its release date is still unknown. The digital version is in colour while the paper zine published by Kowalczuk is black and white.
I read comics in digital form, so I decided to make one on my own. I reported my idea to the Submit ComiXology programme which allows direct publication on their website. Profits are divided between the distributor and the author. The entire process lasted four months. – Kowalczuk explains.
Vreckless Vrestlers is the second Polish comic published thanks to the Submit ComiXology programme. The first was George the Hedgehog. ComiXology is the world's largest platform for digital comic sales.
