DARK HORSE PUBLICARA "FALCONSPEARE" DE MIKE MIGNOLA Y WARNICK JOHNSON-CADWELL

Este otoño, Dark Horse Comics publicará FALCONSPEARE, una novela gráfica original con Mike Mignola y los personajes de Warwick Johnson-Cadwell: el profesor J.T. Meinhardt, el Sr. Knox y la Sra. Mary Van Sloan. 

Este misterio de estilo victoriano ofrece horror, humor y el tipo de giros extravagantes y encantadores que los fanáticos de las colaboraciones anteriores de Mignola y Johnson-Cadwell MR. HIGGINS COMES HOME and OUR ENCOUNTERS WITH EVIL: ADVENTURES OF PROFESSOR J.T. MEINHARDT AND HIS ASSISTANT MR. KNOX podrían esperar. El extraordinario cazador de monstruos, el profesor Meinhardt, el Sr. Knox y la Sra. Van Sloan se han unido para matar a los fantasmas e investigar lo siniestro antes, pero ahora abordarán una pregunta que los ha perseguido durante años: qué le sucedió a su amigo y extraordinario asesino de vampiros James Falconspeare?

FALCONSPEARE está escrito y dibujado por el aclamado artista Warwick Johnson-Cadwell, con letras de Clem Robins y una portada de Mignola y el colorista ganador del premio Eisner Dave Stewart.

“El mal acecha entre sombras oscuras y en muchas formas. El vampiro, el hombre lobo, monstruos de todo tipo ”, dijo Johnson-Cadwell. “Necesitamos un tipo particular de héroe para frustrar estos males, y el profesor J.T. Meinhardt, el Sr. Knox y la Sra. Mary Van Sloan son solo esos héroes. Una correspondencia críptica los coloca en un camino misterioso que los conducirá al peligro diabólico y a la cruda realidad donde el mal puede estar. El mal diabólico se revela en la cruda realidad y se exige un sacrificio máximo. Sus encuentros con el mal continúan ".

"Señor. Higgins Comes Home fue una pequeña historia tonta que básicamente se escribió a sí misma, inspirada en películas antiguas que tanto Warwick como yo amamos ”, dijo Mignola. “Ciertamente no imaginé que llevaría a otras cosas, pero ver a Warwick tomar esos dos personajes del original y crear todo un mundo a su alrededor ha sido una verdadera alegría. Espero que se esté divirtiendo tanto como parece hacer estos libros, porque (ahora que puedo disfrutarlos como lector) no quiero que se detenga nunca ".

Al igual que las novelas gráficas anteriores, FALCONSPEARE presenta el estilo expresivo y suelto característico del dibujante Warwick Johnson-Cadwell en una historia independiente que se basa en las aventuras anteriores de los personajes. Está ambientado fuera del Universo Hellboy y del Outerverse. FALCONSPEARE estará a la venta en Dark Horse Books en las tiendas de cómics el 29 de septiembre de 2021 y en las librerías el 12 de octubre de 2021.

NOTA DE PRENSA OFICIAL ORIGINAL

Dark Horse Comics To Publish FALCONSPEARE

Created by Mike Mignola and Warwick Johnson-Cadwell

An Original Graphic Novel Featuring the Strange and Charming Characters from MR. HIGGINS COMES HOME and OUR ENCOUNTERS WITH EVIL: ADVENTURES OF PROFESSOR J.T. MEINHARDT AND HIS ASSISTANT MR. KNOX

MILWAUKIE, Ore., (March 11, 2021)—This fall, Dark Horse Comics will publish FALCONSPEARE, an original graphic novel featuring Mike Mignola and Warwick Johnson-Cadwell’s characters Professor J.T. Meinhardt, Mr. Knox, and Ms. Mary Van Sloan. This eerie Victorian-style mystery delivers horror, humor, and the kind of off-kilter, charming twists that fans of Mignola and Johnson-Cadwell’s previous collaborations MR. HIGGINS COMES HOME and OUR ENCOUNTERS WITH EVIL: ADVENTURES OF PROFESSOR J.T. MEINHARDT AND HIS ASSISTANT MR. KNOX have come to expect. Monster hunters extraordinaire Professor Meinhardt, Mr. Knox, and Ms. Van Sloan have teamed up to slay spooks and investigate the uncanny before, but now they'll tackle a question that's haunted them for years: What happened to their friend and vampire slayer extraordinaire, James Falconspeare?
 
FALCONSPEARE is written and drawn by acclaimed artist Warwick Johnson-Cadwell, with lettering by Clem Robins and a cover by Mignola and Eisner Award-winning colorist Dave Stewart. 
 
“Evil lurks among dark shadows and in many forms. The vampire, the werewolf, monsters of all kinds,” said Johnson-Cadwell. “We need a particular kind of hero to thwart these evils, and Professor J.T. Meinhardt, Mr. Knox, and Ms. Mary Van Sloan are just those heroes. A cryptic correspondence sets them on a mysterious path which will lead them to diabolic danger and grim reality where evil may lie. Diabolic evil is revealed in grim reality, and an ultimate sacrifice is demanded. Their encounters with evil continue.”
 
“Mr. Higgins Comes Home was a silly little story that basically wrote itself, inspired by old movies both Warwick and I love,” said Mignola. “I certainly didn’t imagine it would lead to other things, but seeing Warwick take those couple of characters from the original and create a whole world around them has been a real joy. I hope he’s having as much fun making these books as he appears to, because (now that I can just enjoy them as reader) I never want him to stop.”
  
Like the previous graphic novels, FALCONSPEARE features the signature loose, expressive style of cartoonist Warwick Johnson-Cadwell in a standalone story that builds on the characters’ previous adventures. It is set outside both the Hellboy Universe and the Outerverse. FALCONSPEARE will be on sale from Dark Horse Books in comic shops on September 29, 2021 and in bookstores on October 12, 2021.
