Shaboozey Brings The Outlaw Cherie Lee to San Diego Comic-Con

By Kyra Greene

Every year, San Diego Comic-Con becomes the place where new worlds are introduced. Long before a story reaches its widest audience, it often begins on the convention floor—through conversations with creators, advance releases, and the excitement that comes from discovering something new. This year, Shaboozey joins that tradition with The Outlaw Cherie Lee, his debut three-issue comic series, bringing his storytelling into comics for the first time.

Created alongside Xaivia Inniss and adapted by Robert Jeffrey II, The Outlaw Cherie Lee follows Cherie Lee, a former lawwoman who sets out to avenge the murder of her sheriff father. Illustrated by Sean Damien Hill with colors by Andrew Dalhouse, the series embraces the same rugged Western spirit that has become a defining part of Shaboozey’s artistic identity. Rather than existing separately from his music, the comic arrives alongside his upcoming studio album, expanding the world through a new creative medium.

Comic-Con is a natural place for that debut. Before the series reaches comic shops nationwide, thousands of attendees will experience it first through advance copies, creator appearances, and live conversations that bring the project beyond the printed page. For many fans, the convention has always been about more than seeing what’s next—it’s about being among the first to experience it.

Walk through the exhibition hall and the energy is unmistakable. Readers stop at booths to discover unfamiliar titles. Collectors search for exclusive editions. Artists sketch, publishers introduce new characters, and photographers weave through the aisles documenting the moments that define the week. Every corner offers another story waiting to be found, and every aisle reminds visitors why Comic-Con remains one of the most important gatherings in popular culture.

Within that environment, The Outlaw Cherie Lee becomes part of something larger than a single release. It enters a community built around imagination, craftsmanship, and shared enthusiasm for storytelling. The comic is introduced not only through its pages, but through the conversations it sparks, the readers who discover it, and the experience of encountering it for the first time on one of entertainment’s biggest stages.

By the time Comic-Con comes to a close, countless stories will have been announced, discussed, and celebrated. Among them is The Outlaw Cherie Lee, marking Shaboozey’s first step into comic books and adding another chapter to a week that continues to bring creators and audiences together through a shared love of stories.
