Diamond pre-order number (helps the retailer): JAN083503 DEATH TO AMERICA
Here's stuff from the press release:
Death To America – You Know You Want It.
Death to America is ready for March 08 launch, pre-order now in Jan 08 previews.
Death To America is a controversial graphic novel series about a young man who sets out to kill the President of The United States and accidentally saves him from a terrorist attack instead – and the bizarre consequences of what follows.
Death to America is the story of Ryan Haskell, a young man whose life couldn’t be much worse. He’s stuck in a dead-end job. His girlfriend left him. He dropped out of college, and they don’t really want him back. Convinced by popular media that the President is behind much of what has gone wrong with America, from terror attacks, to war, to his own diminished opportunities, he sets out to kill the President of the United States. But when his attempt on the President’s life accidentally interrupts a real terrorist attack, Ryan finds himself branded a real American hero.
Written by Joe Judt with art by David Youkovich and cover colors by Ray Murtaugh, Death to America is a black comedy set squarely in the real world. “And nothing is stranger than the real world” according to series creator Joe Judt. “Ryan will find himself caught between a country and government that just goes crazy over this ‘real American’ hero and his own anarchist tendencies. Not to mention the militia group that feels he betrayed them, and the terror cell that wants an example made of him.” It really is the story of a stranger in a strange world – our world.”
Joe Judt is an early pioneer of the indy comics movement publishing the seminal zine “Just Imagine” while only a teenager. Just Imagine saw the first published comics work of such artists as multiple-Eisner winner Jill Thompson, Mark Nelson, Tom Artis and more. He recently sold his Creative Agency ‘X Integrated’ to return to the comics medium. But he really feels it should an extra-large. Medium seems too middle of the road.
While published before, this is Dave Youkovich’s first regular series, and he’s armed. Approach him with caution, coffee and free music.
Published bi-monthly by Crave Entertainment, Death to America can be found in Comic Book Shops or purchased online through comic book retailers. A seven-page preview of Issue #1 can be found at www.craveworld.com.
Quotables:
“It's about time Joe Judt made his return to comics. This true pioneer of independent comic book publishing, responsible for helping to kick off so many careers of important creators, is now out on his own with a truly fearless title for our time – Death To America! And it's **** well about time, too. I urge everyone who can read or be read to to check out Joe and Dave's stunning work.”
