Today Image Comics introduced that author Doug Wagner is teaming up with artist Doug Dabbs for Klik Klik Boom, a 5-issue miniseries launching this June. Also alongside for the trip are Eisner Award-winning colorist Matt Wilson and letterer Ed Dukeshire.
Here’s how the writer describes the miniseries:
In Klik Klik Boom, readers meet Sprout, a mute murderer who communicates completely by way of polaroid footage. After being raised by her doomsday-prepping grandfather in the rolling hills of Idaho, Sprout has grown up with little publicity to different individuals, TV, or seen garments exterior of Army fatigues. Now she’s headed to the large lights of New York City to avenge her grandfather’s homicide, however will town’s mesmerizing glitz and glam assist her succeed—or be the demise of her?
Wagner revealed some of the influences on the venture and praised the work of his collaborators:
“I can’t wait for everyone to see the insanity Doug, Matt, Ed, and I cooked up for this book. When this was all starting to stew, I told Doug Dabbs the muses were speaking to me about mixing movies like Fargo and The Fifth Element with the artistic inspirations of Robert Valley and Bengal. I wanted to try to find this balance between the old and the new, between neon cyberpunk and crime noir, and wrap all of that in a modern day action tour de force tortilla. The team didn’t let me down.”
Dabbs added:
“I knew after working with Doug on The Ride: Burning Desire that there was a creative chemistry that had to be explored more. With Klik Klik Boom, Doug blew me away with his scripts and we ended up creating a story that’s so different, unexpected, and fun. Working with Matt and Ed was surreal, as they brought their god-level talents to the story. Our main character, Sprout, is a someone people haven’t seen before in any media. I can’t wait for people to meet her and see what we created!”
Klik Klik Boom #1 will arrive at comedian guide outlets on Wednesday, June twenty first. Check out the preview artwork beneath.
