DARK
HORSE ANNOUNCES DAVID LAPHAM’S JUICE SQUEEZERS TO BE FEATURED IN
FREE
COMIC BOOK DAY 2014!
To celebrate,
Dark Horse Digital offers the #0 issue of this
highly anticipated series free for the next week!
DECEMBER 4,
PORTLAND, OR—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 anthology Dark 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
Juice
Squeezers #1 (of
