PREPÁRATE PARA UNA COMPETENCIA SANGRIENTA EN “THOSE NOT AFRAID” DE KYLE STARKS Y PATRICK PIAZZALUNGA

 

Dark Horse Comics presenta Those Not Afraid, una nueva serie perfecta para los fanáticos de los crímenes reales. Esta miniserie de cuatro números escrita por el nominado al premio Eisner Kyle Starks (Where Monsters Lie, From the World of Minor Threats: Barfly, Peacemaker Tries Hard), ilustrada por Patrick Piazzalunga (Monsters Are My Business), coloreada por Marco Brakko y rotulada por Jim Campbell llegará en enero de 2025. El número 1 contará con portadas de Glenn Fabry (Preacher, Hellblazer) y Piazzalunga.

"El título de THOSE NOT AFRAID se inspira en una escalofriante cita del malvado asesino en serie Richard 'The Night Stalker' Ramirez: 'Todos tenemos el poder en nuestras manos para matar, pero la mayoría de la gente tiene miedo de usarlo. Los que no tienen miedo controlan la vida misma'", dijo Starks. "Si me conoces y conoces mi trabajo, sabes que me encanta el terror, pero también me encantan los crímenes reales, especialmente cuando se trata de asesinos en serie. Quería sumergirme narrativamente en ese mundo, alejarme del humor por completo, adentrarme en las aterradoras profundidades de ese mundo y las aterradoras criaturas que lo habitan. Con THOSE NOT AFRAID planteo la pregunta: '¿Qué pasaría si dos asesinos en serie entraran en una terrible competencia para romper el récord de asesinatos?' Si eres fanático de los crímenes reales y los asesinos en serie, o conoces a un fanático de ellos, THOSE NOT AFRAID será el libro para ti".

Piazzalunga agregó: "Estoy entusiasmado con este cómic. Probé algo nuevo en mi arte: será mucho más oscuro, con mucho negro. ¡Como este fantástico thriller de Kyle! Kyle ha hecho un gran trabajo y la historia te mantendrá en suspenso".

Acerca de Those Not Afraid:

Dos asesinos en serie descubren que están a punto de alcanzar el récord estatal de asesinatos y participan en una terrible competencia para ver quién llega primero. Conozca más sobre nuestros horribles asesinos, Mark Andrew Smith y Daniel Dodson, y sus grotescas actividades mientras nos adentramos en un aterrador juego del gato y el ratón entre asesinos y policías.

Those Not Afraid #1 (de 4) estará disponible en las tiendas de cómics el 8 de enero de 2025. Ahora está disponible para reservar en su tienda de cómics local por $3.99.

NOTA DE PRENSA OFICIAL ORIGINAL

GET READY FOR A BLOODY COMPETITION IN “THOSE NOT AFRAID” FROM KYLE STARKS AND PATRICK PIAZZALUNGA The latest creator-owned comic series from Kyle Starks! MILWAUKIE, Ore., (September 18, 2024)—Dark Horse Comics presents Those Not Afraid, a new series perfect for fans of true crime. This four-issue miniseries written by Eisner Award nominee Kyle Starks (Where Monsters Lie, From the World of Minor Threats: Barfly, Peacemaker Tries Hard), illustrated by Patrick Piazzalunga (Monsters Are My Business), colored by Marco Brakko, and lettered by Jim Campbell arrives January 2025. Issue #1 will feature covers by Glenn Fabry (Preacher, Hellblazer) and Piazzalunga.   "The title for THOSE NOT AFRAID draws from a chilling quote from pure evil, serial killer Richard ‘The Night Stalker’ Ramirez: ‘We've all got the power in our hands to kill, but most people are afraid to use it. The ones who aren't afraid control life itself,’” said Starks. “If you know me and my work know I love horror but I also love true crime stuff, especially when it's serial killers. I wanted to dip my foot narratively into that world - to step away from humor at all, to lean hard into the terrifying depths of that world and the terrifying creatures who inhabit it.  With THOSE NOT AFRAID I ask the question, ‘What if two serial killers enter into a terrible competition to break the record for murders?’ If you are a fan of - or know a fan of - true crime and serial killers THOSE NOT AFRAID is going to be the book for you."   Piazzalunga added, "I’m excited about this comic book. I tried something new in my art—it will be much darker, with a lot of black! Like this fantastic thriller by Kyle! Kyle has done a great job and the story it will keep you in suspense."   About Those Not Afraid: Two serial killers discover they are within reach of the state record for kills and enter a terrible competition to see who gets there first. Learn more about our awful killers, Mark Andrew Smith and Daniel Dodson, and their grotesque activities as we enter a frightening game of cat-and-mouse between killers and police.   Those Not Afraid #1 (of 4) will be available in comic shops on January 8, 2025. It is now available to pre-order at your local comic shop for $3.99.   Praise for Where Monsters Lie and From the World of Minor Threats: Barfly:   “A high-concept blast of mirth and mayhem that will leave readers desperate for a sequel.”—Library Journal, starred review for Where Monsters Lie   “Where Monsters Lie #1 is the kind of comic you'll be fully invested in by the end, wishing to learn more about its colorful characters. A unique approach to horror and killers, it's funny, weird, and wholly original.”–AIPT Comics   "Barfly #1 is a delightful addition to the world of Minor Threats. With its outstanding writing, stunning visuals, and memorable characters, this comic is a true work of art. If the next three issues are anything like the premiere issue, we are in for one hell of a ride and is in serious contention for our comic book of the year!"–Capes and Tights   “An absolute page-turner with a lead character it's impossible not to love. Partnered with some home-run character designs and a plot that perfectly toes the line between humor and heartbreak, Barfly #1 is easily one of the greatest single issues of any comic I've read this year. Go get yourself a copy and bask in its glory. "–Comicbook.com
