“Swat Kats comics had to happen! Badass Kats, Jets, cars, crazy weapons, explosions, and over-the-top villains — This should have been a fan-favorite comic franchise for years, now is the time, and with a KILLER creative team! I’m grateful to the Tremblay Bros for trusting me in bringing the Swat Kats for the first time to comic readers – We will do it right and for the fans.”

Frank said:

“I’m honored and excited to be contributing to the world of the Swat Kats. As a fan who grew up and was inspired by the action and excitement of the original series, I’m working hard with the team to deliver an energetic, modern take that will thrill longtime fans and a new audience ready for the Radical Squadron.”

“From being a kid watching the show and filling notepads with different missile designs sketches for the Turbo Kat to now being part of the first comic iteration of The Radical Squadron… It’s pretty awesome!”
