'FLAG ME DOWN: THE STORY OF WILDWOOD'S TRAMCAR' BY MICHAEL JASORKA

Discover the untold story while sightseeing down Wildwood’s boardwalk in the

historical graphic novel “Flag Me Down: The Story of Wildwood’s Tramcar” by Michael

Jasorka

Wildwood, New Jersey... the home of boardwalks, long soft-sand beaches, the largest

collection of mid-century Doo Wop motels, and of course, the Sightseer Tramcar. On August

1st, 2026, the Sightseer tramcar gets its own visual chronicle of comprehensive history in

‘Flag Me Down: The Story of Wildwood’s Tramcar.” The fourth Wildwood- historical graphic

novel from independent cartoonist and self-publisher, Michael Jasorka and his imprint,

Bombshell Comics.

Told through both the passing engines and coaches of a subtle logo or color-changing

Sightseer tramcar, ‘Flag Me Down: The Story of Wildwood’s Tramcar’ contains a chronicle of

the Sightseer’s nearly 80-year operation – an untold story. It covers the origins of Sebastian

B. Ramagosa, the boardwalk tycoon known as “The King of the Boardwalk”, whose

beginnings connect with Wildwood’s first casino pier. He brought the tramcars there to

Wildwood on July 11th, 1949. The graphic novel covers seven decades of the tramcar’s history

starring the various local and national celebrities, tramcar drivers, and local Wildwood

officials.

Produced in association with the Wildwood Historical Society, the project was densely

researched and thoroughly examined at the George F. Boyer Museum, took four years to

produce, and is entirely crafted from hundreds of cited references including over sixteen

hundred reference images, personal interviews, and found home movies online.

Michael Jasorka and his Bombshell Comics (www.bombshell-comics.com) will be hosting this

one-day signing event this August 1st, 2026 in Wildwood, New Jersey with the Wildwood

Historical Society – with special guests, long-time tenured tramcar driver, John “Gigi”

Gigliotti and the voice of the tramcar warning herself, Florence Stingel!
