This July, BOOM! Studios is thrilled to have industry
legend Brian Stelfreeze join the BOOM! family with DAY MEN, a unique
reinterpretation of the vampire mythos.
Created by Matt Gagnon (FREELANCERS) and co-written by
Michael Alan Nelson (DC’s SUPERGIRL, HEXED), DAY MEN is a vampire noir that
brings modern master Brian Stelfreeze back to drawing monthly comics for the
first time since 2005!
“Brian Stelfreeze is a singular talent and we’re honored
to be working with him on DAY MEN,” said BOOM!’s Editor-in-Chief, Matt Gagnon.
“We’ve been building a world with this story that we can’t wait to share with
readers. We’re describing the series as a Vampire Noir, and you’ll see what
that looks like in July!”
For thousands of years, the world has been controlled by
the “50 Families” -- a secret network of vampire covens engaged in a timeless
struggle for power. But when the sun rises, the vampires are forced to employ
the services of a human who acts as their daytime fixer and protector...Trained
for centuries to be the mortal soldiers of their vampire employers, the Day Men
go forth at sunrise, alone into the world, to do the bidding of their sleeping
benefactors.
"Style, action,
and sex all wrapped in a noir package,” said Stelfreeze. “This book is
practically a thesis on the things I like to draw and the stories I love to
tell."
DAY MEN #1 will arrive in stores on July 17th with a
cover by Brian Stelfreeze and carries a retail price of $3.99 under Diamond
order code MAY130935. And don’t forget to ask your retailer about the Brian
Stelfreeze “Night” Retailer Incentive cover, which will come signed by Gagnon,
Nelson, and Stelfreeze.
