UN NUEVO MISTERIO ESTÁ EN MARCHA EN “THE GREAT BRITISH BUMP-OFF: KILL OR BE QUILT”

Dark Horse Comics presenta The Great British Bump-Off: Kill or Be Quilt, un nuevo misterio acogedor de John Allison (Giant Days, Steeple) y Max Sarin (Giant Days, Wicked Things) que sigue a su exitosa serie de misterio de asesinatos The Great British Bump-Off. El escritor John Allison, el ilustrador Sarin, el colorista Sammy Borras (The Great British Bump-Off, Bunny vs Monkey) y el rotulista Jim Campbell (Welcome to the Maynard, Monsters Are My Business) combinan sus habilidades en cuatro números para lograr el mosaico perfecto de hilaridad cómica. El número 1 llegará en la primavera de 2025 y también contará con una portada variante ilustrada por Lissa Treiman.

Cuando un incendio provocado golpea a su nuevo empleador justo donde vive, Shauna Wickle se ve arrastrada al mundo brutal y vengativo del acolchado, mientras la hermandad y la artesanía comunitaria se deterioran en conflictos internos. Con la promesa de poner fin a todas sus preocupaciones financieras, Shauna debe cruzar las líneas enemigas e infiltrarse en un grupo de "monstruos con piel humana". Pero parecen tan... ¿amables?

"No diría que me adentré en el corazón de la oscuridad para investigar esta historia", dijo Allison, "pero ciertamente entré en varias tiendas de acolchados. Creo que este es el primer cómic de venta directa que intenta destapar el hasta ahora secreto mundo del patchwork con puñales dibujados. Me gustaría agradecer a mis colaboradores de KOBK... principalmente por su valentía".

"Estoy muy agradecido de haber trabajado con Sammy", agregó Sarin, "quien aceptó mis sugerencias sobre algunas de las colchas que dibujé a lo largo de la serie, basadas en el trabajo de la abuela de mi novia. Estaba abrumadoramente feliz de hacerle este homenaje. ¡No hubiera sido posible sin Sammy!".

The Great British Bump-Off: Kill of Be Quilt #1 (de 4) se coserá y se lanzará en las tiendas el 9 de abril de 2025. Ahora está disponible para preordenar en su tienda de cómics local por $4.99.

NOTA DE PRENSA OFICIAL ORIGINAL

SAY IT AIN’T SEW–A NEW MYSTERY IS AFOOT IN “THE GREAT BRITISH BUMP-OFF: KILL OR BE QUILT” From John Allison, author of “Giant Days” and “Steeple” MILWAUKIE, Ore., (December 12, 2024)—Dark Horse Comics presents The Great British Bump-Off: Kill or Be Quilt, a new cozy mystery from John Allison (Giant Days, Steeple) and Max Sarin (Giant Days, Wicked Things) following up to their hit murder mystery series The Great British Bump-Off. Writer John Allison, illustrator Sarin, colorist Sammy Borras (The Great British Bump-Off, Bunny vs Monkey), and letterer Jim Campbell (Welcome to the Maynard, Monsters Are My Business) combine their skills in four issues for the perfect patchwork of comic hilarity. Issue #1 arrives Spring 2025 and will also feature a variant cover illustrated by Lissa Treiman.   When wildcat arson hits her new employer right where she lives, Shauna Wickle is drawn into the brutal and vindictive world of quilting, as sisterhood and community needlecraft deteriorate into internecine strife. With the promise of an end to all her financial worries, Shauna must cross enemy lines and infiltrate a cadre of “monsters in human skin.” But they seem so… nice?   “I wouldn’t say that I went into the heart of darkness to research this story,” said Allison, “but I certainly went into several quilting shops. I believe this is the first direct market comic book ever to try to blow the lid clean off the hitherto secretive world of daggers-drawn patchwork. I would like to thank my collaborators on KOBK… mostly for their bravery.”   "I'm so grateful to have worked with Sammy,” added Sarin, “who obliged my suggestions on some of the quilts I drew throughout the series, based on my girlfriend's nana's work. I was overwhelmingly happy to make this homage to her. It wouldn't have been possible without Sammy!"    The Great British Bump-Off: Kill of Be Quilt #1 (of 4) will be stitched together and released in stores on April 9, 2025. It is now available to pre-order from your local comic shop for $4.99.   Praise for The Great British Bump Off: “I have an endless appetite for the next Allison and Sarin offering, the greatest comic minds in the business. The Great British Bump-Off has all of the signature wit and energy that makes them so beloved. John Allison’s writing is instantly recognizable: sharp and funny, crackling on every page. Max Sarin’s art pops with character; it is a delight. As usual, I am hooked; I need more.”—Kate Beaton (Ducks)   “It's a simultaneous pitch-perfect parody of the Great British Bake Off and Agatha Christie, and also just one of 2023's funniest titles. The Great British Bump-Off is equal measures dark, charming, and silly, with its only fault perhaps being that we don't get to spend more time in the tent with amateur baker/Detective Shauna.”—CBR   “Like a great dessert—or murder mystery—The Great British Bump-Off is deceptively sweet and immediately addictive.”—AIPT Comics
