Image Comics/Shadowline announced a new ongoing series from writer Kurtis Wiebe (GREEN WAKE, THE INTREPIDS) and artist Tyler Jenkins. PETER PANZERFAUST is described as a combination of the wartime camaraderie in films like Red Dawn and the classic children's story Peter Pan. There is a sneak peek in the back of MORNING GLORIES #14, which in stores today.
"Peter Panzerfaust is a story Tyler and I have been wanting to tell for years," explained Wiebe. " It's an action series set during World War II that blends in a fresh take on the Peter Pan mythology. There's a real rich setting we've developed in this series and I'm thrilled to share it with everyone."
"We are basically creating a book here that is a 200 proof concoction of our interests and loves," added Jenkins. "World War II, brave heroes, mystery, romance...ADVENTURE in the old-school, old-fashioned, turn of the century, sense of the word."
PETER PANZERFAUST is set in the city of Calais, the first city in France to fall to the Germans in the spring of 1940. A mysterious American boy named Peter rallies a handful of plucky French orphans, and they must work together to survive Europe’s darkest hour!
The first issue is scheduled for a February 15, 2012 release.
