DSTLRY Announces Three New Series For 2024

New Cuts From The DSTLRY

DSTLRY just announced three new series for next year: White Boat, a new horror series from multiple Eisner-award-winners Scott Snyder and Francesco Francavilla, release Date: March 2024; Spectregraph, a cerebral horror masterpiece crafted by multiple Eisner-award-winners James Tynion IV and Christian Ward, with cover art from Ward and Martin Simmonds (The Department of Truth), release Date: April 2024 and The Blood Brothers Mother, a carnage-filled West saga by the legendary creative team and Eisner-award-winners Brian Azzarello and Eduardo Risso, release Date: May 2024…

White Boat revolves around a titular mega-yacht that the super-rich use to traverse the globe—floating islands where your every desire can be fulfilled. And getting invited on board should be a dream come true…that is until the crew traps and transports you to a remote island where secret cults have existed for millennia, working on something called “The Human Project.” Does the White Boat ship you to paradise or sink you into hell on earth? WHITE BOAT reunites Scott Snyder, the visionary writer who redefined comic book dread with Wytches and introduced Batman into a terrifying, cerebral era, with modern noir master Francesco Francavilla for a white-knuckle descent into Lovecraftian maritime madness. DSTLRY Founding Editor and frequent Snyder collaborator Will Dennis joins as editor.

“White Boat is by far my most ambitious and expansive deep dive into horror yet,” writer Scott Snyder explains. “Francesco and I are using DSTLRY’s oversized format to unearth a sprawling and terrifying mythology that spans oceans and continents.” “I’m very excited to work with Scott and DSTLRY on a project with this scope,” artist Francesco Francavilla continues. “It’s a rare story that balances claustrophobic psychological terror with global conspiracy. It’s simply epic; we can’t wait for you all to embark on this journey with us.”

DSTLRY’s co-founders Chip Mosher and David Steinberger shared their enthusiasm: “White Boat is not just a comic series; it’s a landmark in modern horror storytelling. Snyder and Francavilla are the perfect duo to bring this haunting vision to life. Their collaboration underscores DSTLRY’s mission to empower creators to push the boundaries of their craft.”

White Boat will be available for pre-order and will hit shelves at local comic shops and digitally via www.dstlry.co in March 2024. The series will feature multiple covers, including limited edition variants and special incentives for collectors.

Spectregraph revolves around an isolated mansion nestled into the coastline, a short drive north of Los Angeles. Rumors have haunted the place for years—its owner a titan of American industry, with a strange fascination in the occult and the paranormal. The richest men and women in the country have whispered to each other, trying to understand what he was building alone in that mansion for all those years. And now finally, with his death, and his estate open for sale… they can finally find out for themselves. James Tynion IV, celebrated for his Eisner Award-winning work in The Nice House on the Lake, Something Is Killing the Children, and W0RLDTR33, collaborates with acclaimed artist Christian Ward, known for his medium-pushing work in Batman: City of Madness and Invisible Kingdom. Together, they weave a tale that delves deep into the heart of America’s gilded facade, revealing the spectral decay lurking beneath. “We’ve been cultivating these ideas for years, and we promise a descent into horror like you’ve never seen before—this is a visceral, confrontational take on the haunted house story,” writer & co-creator James Tynion IV explains. “Spectregraph is an acid-fueled psychedelic nightmare. I can’t wait for everyone to experience it and find themselves haunted by our ghosts, The likeS of which have never seen before,” artist & co-creator Ward continues. “Spectregraph is more than a ghost story; it’s a journey into the depths of horror and the American psyche.” Chip Mosher and David Steinberger, co-founders of DSTLRY, say in a joint statement. “Tynion IV and Ward have created a narrative that is as haunting as it is insightful. This series epitomises DSTLRY’s commitment to pushing the boundaries of storytelling and art.”

Teased in the short story of the same name from DSTLRY’s debut anthology, The Devil’s Cut, Spectregraph is a must-read for fans of cinematic, atmospheric tales such as The Haunting of Hill House and The Conjuring. This series promises to haunt readers with visceral art tethered to a chilling exploration of opulence, power, and corruption. The series will be available for pre-order and will debut in comic shops and digitally via www.dstlry.co in April 2024. Exclusive incentive variant covers and special editions, including the works of Christian Ward and Martin Simmonds, will be announced shortly.

The Blood Brothers Mother is a biting new series from the legendary creative team and Eisner-award-winners Brian Azzarello and Eduardo Risso. The team is responsible for some of the most revered, incisive, and chaotic crime epics of the 21st century, including 100 Bullets, Moonshine, and Flashpoint: Batman. The creators reunite with veteran editor Will Dennis, who edited the pair’s noted collaborations. The trio returns with a carnage-filled Western saga, bringing their honed characters, dialogue, and textured illustration to a genre steeped in American iconography and bloodshed. The comic will hit comic book stores in May 2024. The Blood Brothers Mother follows three children—their step-father gunned down by their recently paroled father; their mother kidnapped; their family torn asunder. The kids set off to rescue her across the wild Texas frontier. Throughout their journey, they’ll face the harsh elements of an unforgiving landscape, filled with wild animals—and men—hungry for blood. Merciless bounty hunters and more pursue the children as they embark on a relentless quest to rescue their family. One of the children also hides a secret bound to complicate their passage. Along the way, they’ll learn the real cost of revenge—not just in lives, but in how it stains a soul. While revenge may be satisfying in the moment, it leaves a yearning behind that lasts a lifetime. And once you taste it, nothing else is ever so sweet. “Eduardo and I have been sitting on this story for years. When we first discussed it, neither of us thought we were ready to tell it. Our perspective, it wasn’t right,” co-creator and writer Brian Azzarello explains. “Westerns are where America expresses its myths, but the truth of America is violence— something we first explored in 100 Bullets. The frontier was a brutally harsh environment, but fertile; it fed the extremes of human morality. The desert is a hell of a sandbox to set stories in.” While the creators’ themes might be familiar to readers, what isn’t is Risso’s stunning painted art. “THE BLOOD BROTHERS MOTHER has offered an amazing opportunity to explore a time and place Brian and I have yet venture into,” co-creator and artist Eduardo Risso says. “It’s not the most friendly, but it should be memorable.” David Steinberger and Chip Mosher of DSTLRY commented, “We are thrilled to bring the legendary team of Azzarello and Risso back together for this epic Western. Their vision for this series aligns perfectly with DSTLRY’s ethos of unrestrained storytelling.”

This new series is a must-read for fans of survivalist time pieces including 1883, Blood Meridian, and The Good, The Bad and the Ugly. Look for this savage Western series in comic shops and digital platforms via www.dstlry.co in May 2024. Additional details on variant covers and special editions will be announced soon.
