WHY WRESTLING?
We love professional wrestling! Its superstars. Its drama. Its rich history of vibrant personalities and cultural touchstones. The Killer Bees delves beneath all the bluster and spectacle to show that the wrestling industry is built of people, real ones with real lives, real challenges, and real triumphs.
THE COMIC
The Killer Bees is the authorized comic biography of tag team legends, B. Brian Blair and Jumping Jim Brunzell. Their respective stories are revealed in personal interviews between each and wrestling historian and Squared Circle writer John Crowther. The entire series is expertly illustrated by comics and animation legend Dell Barras, with colors by Andrew Pate.
The Killer Bees 2 is based on personal interviews with one-half of the duo, Jumping Jim Brunzell, conducted by writer John Crowther. This volume details the early career of the high-flying wrestler from White Bear Lake, Minnesota, who dazzled the wrestling world with, perhaps, the highest drop kick in the industry. Issue 2 pre-dates the formation of The Killer Bees, focusing on Brunzell’s meteoric rise as Minnesota’s high school State High Jump Champion, star of the University of Minnesota’s football and track teams, and one-half of the 2-time American Wrestling Association World Tag Team Champions, The High Flyers, alongside Greg Gagne.
