Colonel Sanders Heads to Comic-Con

Colonel Sanders is headed to Comic-Con International: San Diego this week, bringing a free bio-comic and some other goodies with him.

According to KFC, each limited edition Colonel’s Adventure comic will be poly-bagged with the Colonel’s iconic black ribbon tie and select packages “will also include highly coveted collector’s edition comics.”

“Harland Sanders wasn’t born ‘The Colonel.’ Like most comic book heroes, he started out as an underdog and overcame obstacles that gave him superhuman cooking skills and an amazing superhero costume. Both catapulted him to iconic status,” says Kevin Hochman, chief marketing officer, KFC US. “We thought a comic about the Colonel’s true-life origins story would be interesting to fans, as well as anyone who loves an amazing superhero story – only this one is one hundred percent true.”

Written and illustrated by Dan Burke, you can read the comic for free online now or you can get a copy of the comic in print if you’re at Comic-Con this weekend.
