RECLAIM THE PAST WITH “BACKFLASH” A NEW ORIGINAL GRAPHIC NOVEL FROM BERGER BOOKS AND DARK HORSE

A wild, time traveling thriller where nostalgia is a superpower

Presented by acclaimed and award-winning creators, writer Mat Johnson (Incognegro, Pym) and artist Steve Lieber (Detective Comics, Hawkman), Backflash tells the story of Devin, whose life is spiraling out of control, until he discovers the impossible: by touching an article of family memorabilia, he can travel back in time, mentally reliving the best moments of his past while escaping his problems of the present. But the more Devin “backflashes” he finds himself on a trail of family mystery and betrayal. On this hunt for a truth that was never supposed to come to light, Devin must come to terms with his past if he wants any chance at a future.

Colored by Lee Loughridge (Fables, Batman) and lettered by Clem Robins (Abe Sapien, Hellboy) be sure to look for Backflash on store shelves in November 2024 from Berger Books and Dark Horse.

“It’s been a thrill working with Mat again, and Steve for the first time–two masterful storytellers at the top of their game,” said editor Karen Berger. “Together they deliver a delightfully strange and fresh take on time travel, full of emotional power and sly wit. It’s a hell of a ride!”

Presented in paperback (6.625″ x 9″), spanning 104 pages, don’t run out of time when Backflash appears in bookstores on November 12, 2024, and in comic shops on November 13, 2024. Pre-order at your local comic shop, bookstore, Barnes & Noble, Amazon, TFAW, and more for $22.99.
