Gritty And Gripping: Graphic Novel “Long Haul” Takes Us On A Dark Ride

Gear up for a gut-punching journey into the shadows of the American West with Storm King Comics’ “Long Haul.” This isn’t your typical cowboy yarn – it’s a brutal and gripping graphic novel that exposes the darkest corners of the highway. A place where monsters lurk in sun-bleached 18-wheelers and missing person cases pile high. Fuelled by the unyielding fire of vengeance, Danny and Carl Blake embark on a twisted odyssey: finding their missing sister, Sarah. She has disappeared in the sinister underbelly of America’s interstate highways. Writers Cullen Bunn and Heath Amodio craft a narrative that pulsates with raw emotion, weaving a tragic family story into a tapestry of bone-chilling suspense. Andrea Mutti’s gritty pencilwork, complemented by Gigi Baldassini’s inky shadows and Valerio Alloro’s haunting colors, paints a landscape of desolate highways and blood-soaked back alleys. “Long Haul” doesn’t shy away from graphic violence. But it’s not mere shock value. It’s a visceral depiction of the brutal reality hidden

DSTLRY Announces New Horror-Comedy Comic 'Blasfamous'

DSTLRY Announces New Horror-Comedy Comic ‘Blasfamous’

Today, creator-owned publisher DSTLRY announced “Blasfamous,” an insidious new horror-comedy comic series launching this December from Harvey Award-winning writer and artist Mirka Andolfo (Sweet Paprika, Mercy, Harley Quinn, Punchline). Set in the glittering pop music industry, Blasfamous follows Clelia, the reigning global sensation in a world where pop stars have ascended to divinity off the back of worship from their masses of fans. While the spotlight brings unimaginable power to the angels and demons who manage these viral superstars, a mysterious newcomer begins to threaten the status quo, testing how far Clelia and her demonic agent Father Lev are willing to go to defend her reign. Spinning out of her 5-page story “A Blessed Day” from DSTLRY’s debut release The Devil’s Cut, Blasfamous is a biting dissection of media idolization that expands on Andolfo’s trademark, boundary-pushing humor and style familiar to readers from international hits like Sweet Paprika and Mercy. Mixing the sacred and the profane, Andolfo merges the mythological
