A Deadman Walks Again…

Boston Brand, better known as the supernatural Superhero… Deadman, will be returning to the pages of DC Comics in time for Halloween, in a new three issue prestige format mini-series this October.

The series which is titled ‘Deadman: Dark Mansion Of Forbidden Love’  is to be set in the style of classic gothic romance comics of the 1960’s and 70’s. Deadman’s retro romantic realisation will be penned by Sarah Vaughn, a veteran of romance comic books, whose previous stories include ‘Ruined’ and ‘Alex & Ada’. The pencils will come courtesy of Lan Medina, who previously worked on Fables and The Punisher, and his particular style suits the look of this eldritch romance narrative beautifully.
