It's not uncommon for new creators to take their darlings to a major comic convention with the hope of sparking interest among comics fans. But Jay Piscopo, writer and artist behind the graphic novel series, The Undersea Adventures of Capt'n Eli (Volumes 1 and 2) has gone all-out in his effort to promote this new series from fledgling publisher, Nemo Publishing. Capitalizing on the nostalgia of comics fans (where even the youngest feel an intimate connection with the Golden and Silver Age eras, despite never having been there), Piscopo has worked with Paul Clarke of EMCE Toys to release Commander X, an action figure in the classic Mego style.

Look for the Commander X Action Figure, Jay Piscopo, and the Capt'n Eli crew in Booth 1927 at New York Comic-Con!
