This December, Mad Cave Studios releases the first installment of a new six-issue horror comic series, titled La Mancha. Written by Christopher Sebela, with art by Ibrahim Moustafa, colors by Brad Simpson, and letters from Joe Sabino, La Mancha "reimagines one of literature’s most iconic stories as a brutal, darkly funny tale of obsession, identity and the danger of believing your own legend." Just for Daily Dead readers, we have the first details on the new series and an exclusive look at the covers for the first issue!
Synopsis: "In an era between the age of knights and modern life sits Don Quixote, a man whose love of that bygone era sends him on a bloody spree of mayhem across the land of La Mancha to save the world. With a reluctant assistant, Sancho Panza, at his side, the delusional knight leaves a trail of bodies behind him and tilts at windmills in search of an evil enchanter, dedicating it all to the object of his storybook delusion — Dulcinea del Toboso. Dulcinea, a farm girl working to keep her family’s farm alive, is forced to leave her life behind and take up arms to stop this murderous stranger and defend the one thing that she truly owns: her name.
For fans of twisted takes on classic literary figures like Mad Cave’s critically acclaimed Nottingham, La Mancha #1 brings a stacked lineup of variant covers from industry veterans Jacob Phillips, Phil Hester, and Francesco Francavilla."
La Mancha #1 will be available at comic book stores starting on December 16th with a pre-order deadline (FOC) of November 23rd. You can pre-order the book now from your local comic book shop or directly from Mad Cave Studios: https://madcavestudios.com/product/la-mancha-issue-1/
