HORROR VETERANS DAVID IAN MCKENDRY AND REBEKAH MCKENDRY MAKE THEIR COMICS DEBUT WITH “BARSTOW”
Wear sunscreen, stay hydrated, avoid being possessed by demons.
Dark Horse Comics presents Barstow, a new horror-comedy comic series from award-winning horror writers and filmmakers David Ian McKendry (Glorious, All the Creatures Were Stirring) and Rebekah McKendry (Glorious, All the Creatures Were Stirring). Eisner Award-winner Tyler Jenkins (Hairball, Apache Delivery Service) will illustrate and color the series with Justin Birch (Heartpiercer, Dead Mall) lettering.
At the center of the Mojave Desert, at the crossroads between hell and gone, lies Barstow.
Agent Miranda Diaz is in this godforsaken land on the trail of a missing agent. He’s a man she’s never met, and yet her name was the only clue he left behind. Something dark…something demonic…lurks beneath this oddball town, but can Miranda unravel the mystery before all hell breaks loose?
“As avid horror comic book readers, we are elated to be working on our first comic book series with the legendary Dark Horse Comics,” said the McKendrys. “This whole experience has been a dream come true!
“We first had the idea for Barstow while traveling very late on Sunday evening from Las Vegas to Los Angeles. We fell in love with the wild stretch of road between the two cities, especially the area surrounding the Mojave Desert and all the towns in between. Though we used the name Barstow, our town in the series is an amalgam of all the quirky desert ‘burgs we have encountered in that area.”
Get ready for Barstow to possess you this fall; issue #1 (of 4) will be released in stores on November 20, 2024. It is now available to pre-order from your local comic shop for $4.99.
