Going Gaga!
Story and Art by Michael Troy
Press Release from Prism Comics:
Michael Troy is Going Gaga! for everyone’s favorite Fame Monster with an Exclusive Pre-Sale through Prism Comics!
Los Angeles, CA—Michael Troy and Lethally Blonde Productions (The Blonde Squad, Crotchmen) are offering an exclusive pre-sale of Going Gaga!, an unauthorized pop culture satirical comic book account of the rise of everyone’s favorite Fame Monster.
“I don’t think an artist has sang this strongly to my gay little heart since Madonna and I just had to express myself on paper,” says Troy. “In addition to looking at a phenomenon, this is also a love letter from a fan.”
As an added incentive, the first 100 people who pre-order Going Gaga! through the Prism Comics Online Store will receive a free copy of Troy’s comic book, The Blonde Squad, about a group of shallow blonde superheroes. Books that are pre-ordered will arrive in early to mid-June. The 20-page comic in full color retails for $2.99.
Troy started Lethally Blonde Productions as an outlet for his campy, pop culture, off-kilter comic creations.
“A little Warhol, a little Gaga, and a little Marvel Pop Art of the ’70s,” says Troy. “From Crotchmen to Blonde Squad and now Going Gaga!, the sky’s the limit for Lethally Blonde!”
Troy will be appearing at the upcoming San Diego Comic-Con International 2011. Go to his blog to find out more about him and Lethally Blonde at michaeltroy-lethallyblonde.blogspot.com, and on Facebook.

Along with convention appearances, Prism gives out an annual Queer Press Grant, and maintains a website, prismcomics.org, with LGBT creator listings and features on all that’s queer in comics.
Michael Troy is a deeply superficial person. Born in the midwest in the ’70s, Michael came to Los Angeles to pursue his bi-polar career path as an actor and artist. 2005 saw the release of Michael’s first published book, Homo-Hero’s Big Book of Fun and Adventure (www.greencandypress.com). Michael has contributed to the Lady Gaga comic book from Bluewater Productions and has his hand in various other upcoming projects. Michael has performed stand-up comedy at all of the major comedy clubs in Los Angeles and is making his triumphant return to the main stage of The Comedy Store in September. Michael offers an off-beat sense of humor as the star of such youtube cult classics As The Gays on Film (www.youtube.com/fullfrontaltv), A Minute With Margot, a loving tribute to Superman legend Margot Kidder (http://www.youtube.com/user/rktcommander), and currently hosts a vlog style series Lethally Blonde over at www.monsterburg.com. Sitting alongside industry heavyweight Phil Jimenez at the “Divas and Lassoes” panel for the 2010 San Diego comic-con, Michael maintains and cherishes his “underground” status. A staunch believer in Blonde Ambition, Michael hopes his new comic about shallow blonde super heroes in Los Angeles, The Blonde Squad, will set the world on fire (or at least brighten it a bit).
