HAIL
TOSHIRO!
AN
ORIGINAL STEAMPUNK HORROR GRAPHIC NOVEL FROM JAI NITZ!
FEBRUARY 25,
MILWAUKIE, OR—Genres
collide in an adventure where steam-powered tanks clash with katanas in the new
graphic novel Toshiro from writer Jai Nitz (Dream
Thief)
and artist Janusz Pawlak!
“Toshiro
bends and blends genres to make something altogether new. Janusz and I wanted to
play with Victorian steampunk, alternate history, Lovecraftian monsters, and the
magic of Tezuka’s Astro Boy to tell a story,” said Jai Nitz. “We wanted
to wear our influences on our sleeves, but do the hard work of creating
something new. I think this book will appeal to any fans of
adventure.”
The
mechano-samurai Toshiro travels a Victorian clockwork world, battling horrors
too dark for mankind. With his mysterious partner, the world-famous adventurer
Quicksilver Bob, Toshiro must face Earth’s greatest foe yet: the soul-stealing,
zombie-creating jellyfish from beyond. Janusz
Pawlak’s jagged inks and moody watercolors create a world of dread and
mystery.
Praise
for Jai Nitz:
“Nitz
subverts
expectations very well, moves the story along quickly, and gives us enough
mystery to hook us in for whatever ride he’s planning to take us on.”—Crave
Online
“Jai Nitz is
horribly underrated in the comic book business.”—Geeks of Doom
