DYNAMITE LANDS HAMSTERS
 
Dynamite Entertainment continues to expand its line, announcing on Friday it has reached an agreement with creator Don Chin to begin publishing a new comic book series, collections and collectibles featuring the Adolescent Radioactive Black Belt Hamsters.

The Adolescent Radioactive Black Belt Hamsters, written and created by Chin, was originally illustrated by Parsonavich and later by Sam Kieth, as well as initially published by Eclipse Comics.

The series chronicled the adventures of four Hamsters named Chuck, Bruce, Jackie and Clint, who were sent into space by the United Nations in an attempt to obliterate a huge blob of radioactive space jell-o that threatened to engulf the earth, wiping out all life as we know it. The Hamsters sacrificed their lives by self-destructing their rocket ship in the heart of the gelatinous mass, which sent them hurtling back to earth to the Himalayas covered with the strange glowing goo. There they were found by a wandering Buddhist Monk who sees their arrival as an answer to ancient prophecy--so they are trained in the ways of the martial arts to one day rid the world of corruption.

Chin dreamed up the furry foursome in a biology class at Humboldt State University in Arcata, Calif., in the 1980's as a parody of the increasingly popular Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles comics, but they soon took on a life of their own, selling over a half-million comics.

"I'm very excited to be entering into this relationship with Dynamite Entertainment, as they have a proven reputation for great art and stories and have shown a keen eye for turning licensed properties into hot comic book titles such as Army of Darkness, Battlestar Galactica and Red Sonja," Chin said. "I have long wanted to re-introduce the Adolescent Radioactive Black Belt Hamsters to a new generation of fans who might be looking for a very funny, action-packed series and to the original fans who have kept asking me when they were going to return out of hibernation."

Dynamite said details of the new series' creative team will be announced soon.

"Atrocious pun #38 - Collect 'em all"

"Clint, honey, are you ok?"
"I meant to do that, really. Please help me locate my teeth."

"Don't move, sister, unless you want a 3rd nostril."
"What happened to the nun?"
"She wanted a 3rd nostril."

"You really shouldn't scare Jackie like that, Clint. You know it makes him wet himself."
"It is warm in here..."

"Could somebody please get this lightbulb out of my nose?"

Um...what are these Adolescent Radioactive BlackBelt Hamsters of which you speak?
