"SPARKS PART 2", the first-ever iPhone/ iTouch motion comic book with lip-synch-released by Catastrophic Comics- Voiced by Hollywood actors Michael Paré, William Katt, and Michael Bell (July 4, 2009) Los Angeles—"Sparks Part 2,” the first motion comic book with lip-synch, created specifically for the iPhone and iTouch, is proudly presented by Catastrophic Comics. The SPARKS PART 2 Application, which includes original artwork, in addition to the original motion comic, can be downloaded for 99 cents at the iTunes Store (keywords: "SparksPart 2" or "Catastrophic Comics"). A superhero noir-thriller that was published as a comic book series in 2008, “Sparks” bridges the gap between the printed page and full-fledged animation. "Part 2” is voiced by actors Michael Paré ("Eddie and the Cruisers"), Michael Bell ("Transformers"), Charlie Brill ("Star Trek"), Kevin Sherwood ("Gamers"), Courtenay Taylor (“Justice League Heroes”), and Ashley Bell ("United States of Tara").
***Please contact us to book interviews with Michael Paré, co-creator, William Katt ("The Greatest American Hero", NBC's "Heroes") , Michael Bell (“Transformers”), Ashley Bell (“United States of Tara”), and Christopher Folino (writer/ director "Gamers"). Pre-taped interview footage is also available on request.
Here the direct link to Sparks Part 2 for sale on iTUNES:
***Michael Pare, William Katt, and Michael Bell are available for interviews via email, phone and will also be appearing at San Diego Comic-Con, Saturday July 25, 2009 at the Catastrophic Comics booth.
"This won't be Robot Chicken style, where they draw the mouths moving, which, for the record, I love Robot Chicken. However, our Animation Director, Sean Ruge, did an amazing job perfecting the lip-synch. It really adds to the overall story without looking like a big bowl of cheese", commented William Katt, co-owner and executive producer of Catastrophic Comics.
"Sparks Part 2 will be a standard for this genre for a very long time. This is the future of comics and it will reach a whole new audience which a traditional comic book is incapable of doing", stated Christopher Folino, writer and co-director of the Sparks series.

Stephen J. Cannell and William Katt have teamed up with March of Dimes to release the first ever trading card of the beloved television series Greatest American Hero. This product will also be all sketch cards and the proceeds from the sales go to March of Dimes. The 2009 Greatest American Hero / March of Dimes Sketch Card Series will feature autographs from series stars William Katt, Robert Culp, Connie Sellecca, and Michael Pare. There will also be double and TRIPLE co-signed sketch cards, too! Plus, television legend and GAH creator Stephen J. Cannell has signed some cards! The odds are about 1:15 that you will find an autographed sketch card.
Who is that hero with the dark hair? That is Dennis "Danger" Madalone! He was the super behind the suit. Dennis was the stunt coordinator on the show and performed amazing stunts and crashes that left us wildly entertained and filled with laughter! Dennis is an amazing and talented individual whom I am proud to recognize. To check out Dennis' stunts from the show...www.youtube.com/watch?v=wE13X_8QEUc&feature=channel_page
Sorry it has been so long for an update. A lot has been going on and I am getting things back to semi normal.
I know most of you are patiently waiting for issue 3 to see how the origin story arc will complete before the new adventures begin. For those of you who haven't seen the new book here is a sneak peek at the cover.
As soon as we get it, it'll be listed. Both William and I thank you for being a fan and your continuing support all these years. The Greatest American Hero resurgence has been all due you, the fans, who have made all this possible.
Many, many, thanks! I will be posting a video from William Katt to you very soon.
