NEW JERSEY - After Hours Press announces "MODEL OPERANDI," a new comic book graphic novel that mixes girls, guns, and motorcycles in a high-adrenaline action comic.

"Model Operandi" is about Legsy Diamond...model by day…carefree adventurer by night. She's part of a team of hot, fun-lovin' babes who
stumble into trouble all over the world…and maybe fight some crime along the way. Jump in to their first exciting adventure as the
stunning gals must recover a priceless gem…the legendary Heart of Josephine diamond, which was stolen by (you guessed it) evil, sexy babes! It's packed with action, mystery, intrigue and humor.

Created by Dennis Budd and Joe Caramagna, this 88-page full-color graphic novel is priced at only $5.99 to attract new readers. It's
good, light fun with a terrific story and fantastic art.

"People who like the action and humor of the Alias TV show will get a big kick out of this high-octane story about Legsy Diamond," says
Buddy Scalera, President, After Hours Press. "And if people were impressed by Dennis and Joe's work on 7 Days to Fame, then they are
going to be floored by the fluid art style featured in Model Operandi."

Both Dennis Budd and Joe Caramagna are graduates of The Joe Kubert School in New Jersey. Aside from their work on "7 Days to Fame",
Dennis Budd has illustrated Lord of the Rings trading cards for Topps Cards, and Joe Caramagna has lettered Marvel Comics via the Virtual
Calligraphy studio.

"We are so confident that Model Operandi will be a hit, that we actually printed the graphic novels in advance and have begun selling
them at conventions," says Scalera. "There's already a buzz and the book isn't even out yet."
