David Lapham, the Eisner Award–winning creator of the
smash hit Stray Bullets, is writing and drawing his own series again for the
first time in five years, debuting next month! Now, on the eve of Final Order
Cutoff for the first issue, Dark Horse announces an original story to be
featured in next year’s FCBD offerings!
Called “a perfect start to an addictive new serial” by
Newsarama after its run in the Eisner and Harvey Award–winning anthologyDark
Horse Presents, Juice Squeezers follows a covert group of tweens who form the
main line of defense for the residents of Weeville against an army of giant
bugs. The only ones who can fit into the cramped subterranean battlefield, the
aptly named Juice Squeezers keep the endless swarm of bugs from overrunning the
city. That is, until a new kid moves to town and threatens to awaken a dormant
bug population. The exterminators may become the exterminated in this all-ages
adventure story!
Available for download today, and free for the next week,
is the critically acclaimed storyline from the series debut in Dark Horse’s
flagship anthology, so fans will have the chance to see for themselves what
everyone is talking about! Read the first chapter and tell your retailer that
you are on board for this fun new series in the vein of The Goonies and Stand
by Me!
Praise for Juice Squeezers:
“How the hell can I ignore David Lapham writing and
drawing again! My god that was a nice treat to discover and upon reading . . .
I’m really looking forward to the next chapter and Lapham’s art was
fantastic.”—Comic Bastards
“It’s a modern take on the innumerable monster movies of
the 1950s that featured enormous bugs . . . The character dynamics are still in
play, even as the group contends with maggots the size of corgis.”—Unleash the
Fanboy
