SINOPSIS
El cumpleaños número 12 de Josephine se convierte en tragedia cuando, en un viaje con su familia a la ciudad para un regalo especial, sus padres son asesinados a tiros por un grupo de vaqueros borrachos. Ese grupo incluye a Andrew McGeary, el hijo de un ranchero influyente que celebra su próxima boda. Al día siguiente, las cosas van de mal en peor cuando, mientras está en la oficina del sheriff, Andrew echa la culpa a los padres de Josephine. Enfurecida por la mentira y traumatizada por ver el asesinato de sus padres, Josephine, sin pensarlo, toma el arma del sheriff y mata a tiros a Andrew. Como resultado, el padre de Andrew quiere que Josephine sea juzgada y ahorcada por su crimen. Ella es liberada inesperadamente de la custodia por el abuelo forajido que nunca conoció. Ethan Foster, un pistolero que se creía muerto hace mucho tiempo, sale de su escondite para salvar al único miembro restante de su familia. Él y la niña se enfrentan a la incesante persecución de los pistoleros a sueldo de los McGeary para que él logre la última cosa que podría expiar su pasado.
“Jordi y yo tenemos una gran relación y ambos estamos emocionados de dar vida a nuestro primer western. Me encanta el género y espero que esto atraiga a aquellos lectores que aman los westerns clásicos tanto como nosotros”, dijo Richardson.
"Siempre quise dibujar un western", afirma Armengol. "Desde que era un niño. Creo que es el sueño de todo dibujante de cómics. Cuando Mike me envió el guión de Gunslingers supe que sería un clásico instantáneo. Tiene el espíritu de los grandes westerns: desde Zane Grey hasta Cormac McCarthy. Desde John Ford hasta Sergio Leone. Puedes escuchar las melodías de Ennio Morricone cuando te pierdes en sus líneas".

NOTA DE PRENSA OFICIAL ORIGINAL
REVENGE STALKS A YOUNG GIRL IN “GUNSLINGERS” | | Dark Horse Comics Founder Mike Richardson and artist Jordi Armengol bring readers to the Wild West | MILWAUKIE, Ore., (October 24, 2024)— Dark Horse Comics presents a new and gritty Western tale about revenge, family, and surviving the ruthless West in the original graphic novel, Gunslingers. Written by Dark Horse Comics Founder Mike Richardson (47 Ronin, Star Wars: Crimson Empire, Father’s Day) with art by creative partner Jordi Armengol (Cloaked, Navigator) and lettering by Jim Campbell (Into the Unbeing, Monsters Are My Business), readers should be prepared for gunfights and powerful action when this posse arrives in March 2025.
Josephine’s 12th birthday turns to tragedy when, on a trip with her family into town for a special treat, her parents are shot and killed by a group of drunken cowboys. That group just happens to include Andrew McGeary, the son of an influential rancher celebrating his upcoming wedding. The following day, things go from bad to worse when, while at the sheriff’s office, Andrew shifts the blame onto Josephine’s parents. Enraged by the lie, and traumatized by the sight of her parents’ murder, Josephine unthinkingly grabs the sheriff’s gun and shoots Andrew dead. As a result, Andrew’s father wants Josephine tried and hanged for her crime. She is unexpectedly freed from custody by the outlaw grandfather she never met. Ethan Foster, a gunfighter long thought dead, comes out of hiding to save the only remaining member of his family. He and the girl face the relentless pursuit of the McGearys’ hired gunmen in order for him to accomplish the one last thing that might atone for his past.
“Jordi and I have a great relationship and we are both excited to bring our first Western to life. I love the genre and hope this will appeal to those readers who love classic Westerns as much as we do,” said Richardson.
"I always wanted to draw a western,” said Armengol. “Since I was a child. I think it is the dream of every comic-book artist. When Mike sent me the script for Gunslingers I knew it would be an instant classic. It has the spirit of the greatest westerns: from Zane Grey to Cormac McCarthy. From John Ford to Sergio Leone. You can hear Ennio Morricone's melodies when you get lost in his lines."

| Praise for Richardson and Armengol’s Cloaked:
"Writer Mike Richardson successfully carries the reader along on the bumpy search for answers, as more and more is known about the shadowy Sentinel. Why are violent deaths piling up around the one person who has been hired to find the reclusive Sentinel? It’s puzzles, twists, and surprises all around.”—Fanboy Factor
“Overall: Cloaked #1 navigates a minefield of tones and concepts … to come through as a strong reading experience. I’m going to follow this one through all four issues of its run.”—Comics Bookcase
“The art of Cloaked #1 is straightforward and gritty. Strong shadows are used as an accent throughout, which adds to the stark flavor.”—Major Spoilers |
