FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

 

THE BLACK HATCHET WILL BE UNLEASHED AT LA COMIC CON!

Before The Shadow, Green Hornet, The Phantom, Superman and Batman – there was The Black Hatchet!

 

San Francisco, CA. September 20, 2025 – Brace yourself Los Angeles, it’s not an earthquake, it’s “Once Upon A Time in San Francisco – The Black Hatchet” interactive “one-of-kind” animated graphic novel and film prevision being turned loose on September 29, 2025, at LA Comic Con, West Hall, Artist Alley, Booth WM25.

​ 

This action-adventure-revenge-historical-martial arts-thriller is based on real people, true stories and events.

​

Think “John Wick” with a “Fist of Fury” melded with “The Punisher” running amok with two razor sharp hatchets in “Gangs of New York" except it is the savage and outlaw 1906 Barbary Coast.​

​

“This is a high-octane-hair-raising-heart-pounding-roller-coaster-ride featuring eye-popping-blood-squirting-limb-severing ‘Hatchet-Kung-Fu’ combat!” asserts creator, producer, writer, artist and animator Michael Trachiotis, who takes a deep breath, “Everything fans of action and adventure comics and movies love is in this epic.”

 

Trachiotis adds, “Plus, our exclusive AR (Augmented Reality) innovation conjoins traditional storytelling with animations to create a multisensory, interactive experience.”

​​

“I adapted scenes from the screenplay and placed 20+ interactions throughout the 52-page graphic novel. It’s a fresh, new interface fusing tech and art as animations explode from covers, panels, pages, posters, T-shirts and merch,” elaborates Trachiotis.
