AEW’s Brody King is once again using his platform for a cause close to his heart, teaming up with Headlocked Comics on a new charity initiative aimed at helping families affected by ICE raids.
Headlocked founder Michael Kingston announced on Wednesday that King is partnering with the company for a special release of Headlocked: Tales from the Road. The project also brings in acclaimed comic artist Daniel Warren Johnson, who will provide a special variant cover for King’s story, fittingly titled “Hardcore.”
All proceeds from the variant cover will be donated to MIRAC (Minnesota Immigrant Resource Action Committee), an all-volunteer, grassroots immigrant rights organization. MIRAC provides critical support for immigrant communities, including food assistance and access to legal aid for families impacted by immigration enforcement.
According to Kingston, fans will have three different cover options to choose from for the Tales from the Road issue, including versions that feature Brody King and options that include his autograph. While the books are expected to ship in mid-March—due to printing timelines, metal cover production, and coordinating autographs—Kingston said the decision was made to list the items immediately so funds could reach those in need as quickly as possible.
In an added bonus for supporters, Kingston confirmed that any additional items purchased from the Headlocked webstore as part of the same order will also be included in the total donation to MIRAC.
The charity variant is available now with a strict limit of one per customer.
King has been outspoken on immigration issues in the past, notably drawing mainstream attention in July after wearing an “Abolish ICE” shirt, with proceeds from that merchandise benefiting the Local Hearts Foundation. This latest effort continues a clear pattern of advocacy from the AEW star—this time blending wrestling, comics, and direct community support into one meaningful initiative.
