After collaborating collectively for over twenty years, I don’t assume extra must be stated that hasn’t already in regards to the the a number of Eisner Award successful duo of author Ed Brubaker and artist Sean Phillips. Today Image Comics introduced their newest venture, Where the Body Was. Featuring colours by Jacob Phillips, this unique graphic novel is a homicide thriller with “ripples that echo through decades of love and loss and passion and violence after one fateful killing.”
Here’s how Image Comics describes the graphic novel:
A boarding home full of druggies. A uncared for housewife. A younger lady who thinks she’s a superhero. A cop who desires to be left alone. And a Private Detective on the lookout for a runaway lady. These tales all collide one lethal summer time in Where The Body Was—a story of love and homicide in the suburbs—instructed from a dozen completely different factors of view. All the neighbors on the block have an opinion in regards to the homicide and the way it occurred, however which of them is telling the reality?
In the official press launch Brubaker revealed the origins of the venture:
“This is a story I’ve been trying to find a way to tell for half my life. Inspired by a bunch of wild things that happened when I was a teenager in Southern California—from small time crimes to a murder plot—this book is kind of a diorama of a crime scene, with all the action confined to one small neighborhood… And it even comes with a map. I can’t wait for our readers to get their hands on this one, just in time for the Holidays.”
Look for Where the Body Was, an unique graphic novel hardcover, to reach in comedian shops on Wednesday, December 6, 2023 and in bookstores on Tuesday, December 12, 2023.
