A Comic Creator Puts His Life In Danger By Having
An Affair With The Lover Of His Mafia Boss Publisher.
Scout Comics revealed a preview for the upcoming series launch of COMIC BOOKS KILL!
Based on long-held rumors that the comics industry of the 30s and 40s served as a front for organized crime, COMIC BOOKS KILL is a crime noir tale of myths, mistresses, and mobsters sure to thrill fans of Lee, Kirby, Brubaker, and Phillips.
COMIC BOOKS KILL is a creator-owned comic book series being published by Scout Comics. The creative team for the title features co-creator/writer Shane Berryhill, co-creator/artist Hoyt Silva, colorist Kevin Lennertz, and letterer Micah Myers, plus editing by Nicole D’Andria, plus three (3) stunning covers by Hoyt Silva!
Co-creator/writer Shane Berryhill had no doubr that a publisher with a proven track record such as Scout Comics, with their top-notch industry professionals and their tenacity & heart, would be the ideal home for his & co-creator Silva’s title.
“Hoyt Silva and I always knew it would take a publisher of vision—of true boldness and daring—to publish a controversial book like COMIC BOOKS KILL. So we were ecstatic when an industry firebrand like Scout Comics took the project onboard. Under their banner, time has proven us to be in the most capable of hands. And our experience with Scout editorial has been second to none!“
COMIC BOOKS KILL will be released under Scout’s NONSTOP! banner, the new imprint where Scout releases a World Premiere issue followed by the entire story a few months later in one volume.
