Barstow, the new horror-comedy comic series from award-winning horror writers and filmmakers David Ian McKendry and Rebekah McKendry (both Glorious, All the Creatures Were Stirring), is officially out there on store shelves right now – and we’ve got an exclusive snippet courtesy of Dark Horse Comics for you today.
Illustrated and colored by Eisner Award-winner Tyler Jenkins (Hairball, Apache Delivery Service) and lettered by Justin Birch (Heartpiercer, Dead Mall), Barstow issue #1 (of 4) is now available at all good comic stores.
The comic follows:
At the center of the Mojave Desert, at the crossroads between hell and gone, lies Barstow. Agent Miranda Diaz is in this godforsaken land on the trail of a missing agent. He’s a man she’s never met, and yet her name was the only clue he left behind. Something dark…something demonic…lurks beneath this oddball town, but can Miranda unravel the mystery before all hell breaks loose?
The idea for Barstow came to the McKendrys during a road trip:
“We first had the idea for Barstow while traveling very late on Sunday evening from Las Vegas to Los Angeles. We fell in love with the wild stretch of road between the two cities, especially the area surrounding the Mojave Desert and all the towns in between. Though we used the name Barstow, our town in the series is an amalgam of all the quirky desert ‘burgs we have encountered in that area.”
Order your copy of Barstow right here or from your local comic retailer, and read our exclusive snippet (the final three panels) below.
