Coming from Dark Horse Books in August 2024, we're thrilled to exclusively share details, the cover art, and preview pages from Loving, Ohio, a coming-of-age graphic novel written by Matthew Erman (Good Luck, Witchblood, Long Lost) and illustrated by Sam Beck (Verse, Renegade Rule).
"After the mysterious suicide of their friend, Sloane, Elliott, Cameron, and Ana are just trying to get through the rest of high school in Loving, Ohio–a town built around The Chorus, a new-age cult that has infiltrated every structure of Loving.
As the group of friends deals with their grief, a series of murders throws them into a mystery connected to everything around them. Sloane and her friends have to escape a roaming murderer, figure out their place in the world, and deal with loss, all in the looming shadow of The Chorus. But through it all, they will find the cost of friendship and the adulthood they seek."
The 216-page Loving, Ohio trade paperback will be released in bookstores on August 6, 2024 and in comic shops on August 7, 2024. It is now available to pre-order for $19.99 at Amazon, Barnes & Noble, local comic shops, and indie bookstores.
“Loving, Ohio is the best piece of fiction I’ve written so far in my life," said Erman. "I grew up in a cult, as many people do and Loving, Ohio says everything I want to say on the matter. I am immensely proud of it and so grateful for Sam and the gorgeous book she created with me. I can’t wait for you to read this because I think you all are going to be wowed by what we’ve made. Thank you, thank you, thank you.”
