A Graphic Novel — A Tail of Terror

GYMRATZ

The Hottest Graphic Novel Release Of 2026

GymRatz isn't just an insane story — it's a visual masterpiece from legendary artist Jethro Morales (Star Wars, She-Hulk, Red Hulk, Green Hornet — 140+ credited issues for Marvel, Dynamite, and beyond). Bold, cinematic, and full of energy: when Jethro draws it, it hits harder.

Gym Ratz is a f****** winner.

STEP INSIDE

GYMRATZ: A Tail of Terror — hardcover edition

The Story

Welcome to
GymRatz.

The streets of Iron City aren't for the weak. Between crumbling gyms, shadowy alleys, and the whisper of something monstrous in the walls, survival takes grit—and a mean right hook. Inside GymRatz Boxing Gym, faded posters and broken dreams hang like ghosts, but there's still a spark of fight left in the old champ, Jim Ratzkirk. That is, until an experimental serum turns his final shot at glory into a nightmare of muscle, madness, and murder.

This is no underdog story—it's a full-on brawl for survival. Blood, sweat, and steroids fuel the chaos as bizarre experiments and savage creatures bring the city to its knees. GymRatz isn't just about boxing anymore. It's about who can endure when the gloves come off and the monsters step into the ring.

Step inside the ring, but be warned: once the bell rings, there's no walking out.

Praise for Gym Ratz

They've seen it.
They're not okay.

From the original award-winning screenplay to the finished graphic novel, GymRatz has pulled rave reviews from the who's-who of horror and comics.

“A retro vibe which feels fresh and exciting with a rat's maze of twists and turns. There's enough graphic terror and old school banter to keep you riveted. Great art, unique setting, dark humor abounds!”

Victor MillerWriter, Friday the 13th

“Good writing.”

Doug DraizinProducer, Spy Hard

“The Gym Ratz graphic novel is really well done and really funny. Good work!”

Danny BergeronVisual Effects Executive Producer, X-Men: Days of Future Past

“Perfect for fans that love blood and horror. A cross between The Fly and Rocky, that can appeal to science fiction and sports fans … it is a great read and the story keeps us entertained.”

Edwin MejiaThe Vladar Company

“I loved it. Well written and a great premise.”

Ty WalkerProducer, Imperium

“As a former film executive, I loved your energy, imagination, and ‘thinking big and commercial’ with the premise. So, keep it up!”

Rick Bonn

“Gym Ratz has a solid concept. You have a good setting and an effective source of conflict for the lead with some genuinely horrific beats. The moment between Trish and the slimy rat, for example, is particularly disturbing and I don't think there's anyone in the audience who won't squirm in their seat.”

Fresh VoicesScreenplay Competition

“Very commercial.”

Penelope SpheerisDirector, Wayne's World

“I sincerely look forward to the day when I can forward the Deadline article about your guys' big spec sale and we can kick ourselves for missing out on your ground floor.”

Underground Films

“Solid read. Really appreciate you giving me a chance to check it out.”
