Coming soon: an Evel Knievel comic book
EVEL TO COMICS
D
aredevil Evel Knievel will be battling
snake monsters and other evil-doers
in a comic book series to be launched late
this year, according to its publisher Bluewater Productions.
The comic books, along with a graphic
novel, will be published in both paper and
digital form.
"Our aim is to keep the legacy of Evel
Knievel alive, presenting an homage to
this amazing man that will appeal to adults
who followed his career years ago, and introducing him to new fans among today's
teenagers," said Darren Davis, president
and editor in chief of Bluewater.
Accompanying Knievel on the pages of
the comic book will be two teenage sidekicks, a girl and a boy, says Davis, to help
younger readers relate to the stories.
Riders fill up on fuel at Ramona's Place in Baja during
the annual Los Ancianos MC's Ramona Memorial Ride.
REMEMBERING
RAMONA
If you've ever ridden up in Baja's pine forest,
you've likely stopped at Ramona's Place to get
gas to top off your tank, buy some snacks or even
camp. You might have heard that Ramona Ledezma passed away earlier this year, but her family will
keep the place going for many more years of service to the off-road community.
The Los Ancianos Motorcycle Club held its annual end-of-summer ride over the weekend for
members and guests, and named it the Ramona
Memorial Ride. Covering about 50 miles each day,
it provided plenty of the club's fun trails, food and
drinks, as well as camping under the stars at Ramona's not far from Laguna Hanson.
