Get ready to unlock a new/old fear with Devil’s Luck: A Hailstone Story from Comixology, a new series about a “naïve dentist who takes part in a sinister plot to profit from the golden teeth of a mysterious patient.”
Written by Rafael Scavone with art and color by Eduardo Ferigato, letters by Deyvison Manes, alongside covers from Rafael Albuquerque and edits by Greg Lockard, the five issue series follows a dentist stuck in a California mining town whose dream becomes a nightmare.
“My background as a historian frequently leads me to be curious about specific passages in history, and I enjoy very much diving into the details of a given period and catching some things to bring back into a fictional story,” Scavone said via press release. “In Devil’s Luck I picked the worst year of the Great Depression not only due to the social and financial turmoil in the U.S., but also because of the skyrocketed price of gold. This helped me ambush the characters in their personal hell of greed and treason and the main character of Devil’s Luck is a dentist, an ordinary profession nowadays, but a rare one in the 1930s.”
Added Ferigato, “As soon as I read Scavone’s script, I couldn’t wait to start drawing. It’s such an engaging and thrilling story — full of greed, betrayal, and a touch of the occult. While I was exploring different inking styles to capture the right visual tone, something Rafael Albuquerque told me really stuck: in a horror story, mood is far more important than perfect lines. That became my guiding compass for the book — dark, gritty, and full of shadows, much like Scavone’s characters themselves. I hope readers enjoy it as much as I’ve enjoyed bringing it to life.”
Hailstone was previously featured in a comic series of the same name, and is available as a collected volume from both Comixology and Dark Horse Comics.
