NASHVILLE, July 27 (UPI) -- Nashville star Trace Adkins is the model for a new comic book character due to be published this fall, the publisher said.
Adkins, platinum-selling singer of such hits as "You're Gonna Miss This" and "Ladies Love Country Boys," will be featured as a fictional character when 12 Gauge Comics issues "Luke McBain" Nov. 12.
The four-issue series will tell the story of a man who serves 14 years in prison for a crime he didn't commit and returns to his home in Louisisna to find he alone has the courage to fight the greed and corruption that has overtaken the town.
Writer David Tischman said the character is drawn to look like the 6-foot-6 Adkins, and even reflects some of the singer-songwriter's philosophy.
"The McBain character became kind of a reflection of Trace Adkins' entertainment persona," Tischman said.
The series features artwork by Kody Chamberlain ("30 Days of Night: Bloodsucker Tales") and covers by Brian Stelfreeze, who has done scores of covers for DC Comics and Marvel Comics.
