Get ready for what might be the most graphic, graphic novel of the year. Brian K. Vaughan and Niko Henrichon’s Spectators, which was first serialized by Vaughan’s newsletter, is getting collected in all it’s violent and sexual glory by Image Comics.
“Spectators is a story I’ve wanted to tell my whole career, and after more than three years of meticulous hand-painting by genius co-creator Niko Henrichon, we’re excited to finally share our epic standalone graphic novel with all of you mature readers out there,” said Vaughan via a press release provided to Comic Book Club. “This is a spicy one, so thanks for supporting the retailers who bravely support comics for adults!”
Added Henrichon, “The bold and unconventional script of this comic book challenged my artistic boundaries like never before. It was an exhilarating experience and a true honor to create artwork for such a distinctive story.”
After first working together nearly twenty years ago on Pride of Bagdad, the duo take on a decidedly different project, set, per PR, “Hundreds of years in the future, New York City is haunted by many ghosts, including a voyeuristic woman who died in our present day and a mysterious gun-toting man from the distant past. Normally solo travelers, these two specters meet each other just in time to observe what might be the end of the (living) world.”
The extremely not safe for work book hits stores on September 23. You can check out a preview, below.
