Kid Maroon announcement

We launch a hard-boiled boy detective series!

HELLO AND WELCOME TO A SPECIAL EDITION OF MY NEWSLETTER!

I wasn’t going to post a new newsletter until mid September, but Vault Comics announced a new project I'm involved in:

”Back in print for the first time in over 75 years in a stunning double-length issue #1... the world's only hard-boiled boy detective — KID MAROON. From Christopher Cantwell (Iron Man, Doctor Doom, The Blue Flame, Halt and Catch Fire) and Victor Santos (Polar, Violent Love)!

Two years ago, Walden Maroon outgrew his small town, his loving parents, and the low-stakes mysteries involving missing butterflies and stolen cookies. Since then, he's dwelled within the cesspit of Crimeville, where murders, vice, and corruption are the city's bread and butter. But at 12 years old, Kid is weary. When a string of horrific killings and arsons spring up in the streets, can he crack the case with his quick wits and slingshot? Or does Kid Maroon secretly yearn for what he's never gotten to be... a kid?”

But Vault had given some clues about this series previously with this story:

There is a lot to tell about this project. I really felt like working with Chris and it’s a blast channeling creators like Will Eisner, Johnny Craig or Harvey Kurtzman, and giving a fresh approach to this kind of material. I couldn’t say I did a great research because I have been doing research during the last 15 years!

And I also made this variant cover which is a total statement, isn't it?

I will tell you more about the project in the next newsletters, meanwhile I let you know that the double-length Kid Maroon #1 launches in November and you can preorder issue 1 now in your favorite store (the solicitations Diamond code is SEP242110).
Best
Victor
