Step into the ring at Glorious Wrestling Alliance, the universe’s least-professional wrestling company. The Great Carp, an amphibious wonder, is feeling the weight of his championship. Miranda Fury has donned a mask to smash wrestling’s glass ceiling. And Gravy Train is desperate for a new gimmick, but it’s hard when you’re shaped like a giant gravy boat.

Collected in colossal full color for the first time, Josh Hicks’s cult-hit comic covers identity, anxiety and leg drops. In this hilarious love letter to the surreal theater of pro wrestling, the insecure grapplers of GWA lock up, throw things, throw each other and occasionally curl up into little balls.

I can’t say I’ve ever watched pro wrestling and thought, “I wonder what secret ambitions, side projects and existential crises go on behind the scenes for these people.” But maybe you have wondered; after all, if their wrestling is fake, how fake are their real lives? Welsh cartoonist and self-admitted non-wrestler Josh Hicks is here to imagine it with us, in a colorful and self-deprecating style that helped me breeze through this in an hour or two.
