Ace Hansel Jr. Songs From Croix-Noire Limited Vinyl LP
Overview:
A chance 2020 meeting between top singer-songwriter/producer Mike Batt and singer-songwriter/entrepreneur Jean-Charles Capelli led to a chain reaction in which EMMY-winning writer and novelist David Quantick, legendary Marvel/DC comic artist Mike Collins and executives from leading online games corporation DUBIT created a dramatically interlinked world starring hypersensitive, reluctant protagonist Ace Hansel Jr. 'Ace Hansel Jr is a fictitious, B list, capeless superhero', says Batt. 'He lives in and looks after a dark and dangerous world based on a real French red light district familiar to Jean-Charles'. When the two met, Batt was struck by the unusual imagery in Capelli's notebook and the duo used these pages as direct inspiration for the project.
