Comic book writer, illustrator and publisher Corey “Roc Bottom” Davis of RocBottom Studios has independently made incredible strides with his marquee character Jet Boy. The hero of his Jet Boy comic book series will soon star in the long-awaited Jet Boy: The Animated Series and appear on Netflix series Outer Banks season 2.
Part of Jet Boy’s ascension as the next great Black superhero is having a solid foundation of relatable stories and complimentary characters. Davis made sure that Jet Boy’s mother, multi-time MMA champion Paulette Perkins, was the primary standout. In a recently released preview of Jet Boy: The Animated Series viewers of the clip were able to experience the series mother/son relationship. Says Davis: “I love this image! The face of a strong Black woman. A champion. Tough as nails, but compassionate. Pauletta is patterned after my mom and the women in my family.” |THIS.
