I wrote The Orchard, one of the four stories in the book. It's 21 pages and has amazing art by Damian Couceiro.
We've been out pushing the book really hard. We've been mailing stores directly with information and the other creators in the book have been calling about 600 different comic shops directly to tell them about the book.
The deadline for orders is April 27th. I'd love if anyone out there would ask their local comic shops to order the book in.
About the book:
ACTS OF VIOLENCE is a collection of short stories in the pulp tradition. It doesn’t shy away from bullets or bloodshed. It tackles characters with flawed judgment and loose morals. The storylines are ripped from the filthy underbelly of the world in which we live. ACTS OF VIOLENCE peers into the shadows and shines a light on what scuttles on the periphery.
In THE THREE PRINCES, a trio of young friends is schooled on the alcohol and blood soaked streets of Prohibition era America.
A rookie lawman must protect a killer from the desperate and despairing parents of a murdered girl in SIX O’CLOCK NOOSE.
A drug addled ten-time loser seeks to break the chains of misery that bind him in REGGIE-TOWN.
And in THE ORCHARD, two cops take a late night drive into broken morals and violence.
Featuring the talents of Toren Atkinson, Ed Brisson, Chad Boudreau, Dino Caruso, Damian Couceiro, Todd Ireland, Kevin Leeson, Manoel Magalhaes, and Marvin Mann and cover art by Fiona Staples, ACTS OF VIOLENCE unveils a roster of new voices in hard-boiled crime comics.
