John Wayne's Life Gets Comic Book Tribute in "Tribute: John Wayne"


Storm Entertainment released a new comic book biography on the legendary John Wayne. Tribute: John Wayne was released in both print and digital. 

Few actors achieve the level of fame afforded silver screen icon John Wayne. Born Marion Mitchell Morrison, his distinct vocal cadence, intimidating physical presence, and signature look made him a box office draw for 30 years. Although he's been gone for 36 years, his legacy remains.

The 24-page comic book, written by Steve Urena, illustrated by Vincenzo Sansone. It will feature two collectible covers.

The Tribute line of comic books tells the stories of the classic entertainers that have passed on,” says Storm Entertainment’s publisher, Darren G. Davis “It is a way for us to honor these people who have made a difference in the world.

Previous classic Hollywood subjects that have been featured in the “Tribute” line include Elizabeth Taylor, Frank Capra, George Reeves, Lucille Ball, Marilyn Monroe and James Dean.
