SDCC DEBUTS
TITLE: 7 HOLES FOR AIR
DESCRIPTION: Bill Paxton & Arcana Comics presents 7
Holes for Air. Bob Rourke is the kind of man they don't make anymore. He's a
tough son of a b****: A fifty-year-old steelworker who smokes, drinks, and
never complains, even when he's in pain. After a persistent headache sends him
to a doctor for the first time in his life, Bob learns he's facing the end.
With disease ravaging his body, Bob soldiers on at home, at work and in an
alternate Spaghetti Western reality in which his real-life antagonists become
actual villains. Now Bob will stare down death the only way he knows how - with
grit and determination - as he struggles against the ghosts of his past and the
desire to leave something behind for his wife and daughter.
NOTE: BILL PAXTON will be signing at the Arcana Booth,
2415, on Thursday during SDCC from 2:00 pm - 3:00 pm!
TITLE: THE GLOOM
DESCRIPTION: MTV Comics and Arcana Studio present THE
GLOOM. Once called a 'Mel Brooks movie of a comic' by COMICS INTERNATIONAL,
acclaimed creators Tony Lee (Doctor Who) & Dan Boultwood (It Came!) return
to the hero that brought them together! In 1940's Manhattan he's the only
vigilante blocking the Vermillion and his N@zi allies from their plan to rule
the world with ATOMIC ZEPPELINS! No pulp hero is safe from parody, in the comic
series that once had the review 'Buy this book - sell a kidney if you have to!'
NOTE: Tony Lee, writer of many of IDW's Doctor Who books
and others will be signing during SDCC.
TITLE: THE DEVIL IS DUE IN DREARY
DESCRIPTION: Jack and Tino, two strangers with a
questionable past arrive in the reclusive town of Dreary where they unknowingly
fulfill a prophecy that the town believes will precede the coming of the
apocalypse. They are caught up in a whirlwind of judgment and paranoia, and
it's a race against time to escape with their lives. The Devil is Due in Dreary
is a music rich ride through the folklore of the old west. With rattling desert
bones, pompadours, classic cars, and pearl handled pistols, it's an action
packed rockabilly take on the classic western.
NOTE: David Parkin and Daryl Freimark will be signing
during the convention.

trusted officer of the Horde, a brutal syndicate. As an angry orphan, he was

to. He returns, armed with a serum that gives superhuman strength, and vows

betrayed him.
