#SDCC:
VICTOR SANTOS’S POLAR COMES FROM THE COLD TO DARK HORSE!
San Diego, CA,
JULY 17—As announced at San Diego Comic-Con, Dark
Horse Comics is proud to bring Polar,
the lauded silent webcomic
by Victor Santos (Mice Templar, Filthy Rich),
to print—available for the first time ever with dialogue!
A
guns-blazing espionage action-adventure in the grand tradition of Jim Steranko
and Frank Miller, this graphic novel is a brutal, fast-tempo story of revenge
that Newsarama says is “as ice-cold as its name.” Though Polar was
originally released as a silent webcomic, Santos has crafted a script as
hard boiled and intriguing as his art for this hardcover
collection.
“Polar
began as a tribute to the greatness of graphic storytelling. Watching it improve
and evolve into the version readers will see in the book printed by one of my
favorite publishers, I can only say: Mission accomplished, old soldier,” said
creator Victor Santos.
Ripped
out of retirement by an assassination attempt, the world’s most deadly spy—the
former agent known as Black Kaiser—is a wanted man that’s wanted . . . dead! On
a collision course with his former employer, the Damocles Agency, Black Kaiser
goes head to head with a stab-happy, psychotic torture expert and a seductive
but deadly redhead. His mission only ends if he dies or kills everyone out to
get him, and he’s not in the habit of dying.
Additional
praise for Victor Santos’s Polar:
“A
beautiful, if bloody, webcomic . . . an engaging experiment in color, style, and
wordless storytelling.”—CBR’s Robot 6
Polar: Came
from the Cold is on sale
December 11 in stores everywhere.
