Count Dante: The Totally Unauthorized (But Sort of True) Story of the Deadliest Man Who Ever Lived

You might remember those iconic comic book ads of the 1970s, but do you know the story behind them? John Timothy Keehan returned home to Chicago, a Vietnam war veteran ready to make a name for himself in martial arts. But what he found was a hard town, ran by the Outfit.

So Keehan and his old war buddy, Sydney Brown, set forth on a plan that would turn the nice Irish boy from Beverly, Chicago into the most vicious hairdressing, car-selling, cape-wearing karate master to ever live.

This is the true story of Count Juan Raphael Dante. Well, sort of … I mean … liberties were taken.

Count Dante is a six-part series created by J.C. BARBOUR and WES WATSON and produced by SCOUT COMICS.
