By Michael Fitzgerald Troy
After seeing a copy of Michael Fitzgerald Troy’s pop culture mash-up tribute comic book Going Gaga! at Comic-Con this year, Mother Monster tweeted, “So Cool! Someone found this at Comic-Con. Can I buy it pleasssee!!!” The tweet heard ’round the world; Facebook and Twitter started blowing up in a man hunt for Michael Troy, as little, devoted “Monsters” everywhere were clamoring to find the book for their musical matriarch. After posting it on Facebook, Gaga talks and fans listen to the tune of 72,0000 plus “likes.” Further proving the power of Twitter, the story of Lady Gaga’s comic book endorsement spread to the likes of MTV Style, Gaystar News, and several news outlets in Italy! (Ciao, Gaga!)
The bad news is that the small print run book has sold out. The good news is that the book is now available for digital download for the discount price of only $1.99 via Mydigitalcomics.com. And, another print run of the book is being planned.
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.”
So, what are you waiting for, little Monsters? Download the Lady Gaga endorsed digital version of Michael Troy and Lethally Blonde Productions’ Going Gaga! here.
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).
