GOLGOTHA MOTOR MOUNTAIN #2 (COVER A ROBBI RODRIGUEZ)
Story Matthew Erman & Lonnie Nadler Art Robbi Rodriguez Colors Marissa Louise 36 Pages • $5.99 • APRIL 2024
Elwood and Vernon are doing their best to finish the sales of their most recent batch of space rock infused narcotics and make their dreams come true in Cincinnati.

Also, no business in Golgotha County happens without the sheriff's knowledge, and he's going to have a few violent words with the brothers. Nikola Cizmešija's restoration of T.A. Toshiro's manga Zorro Raito continues with a story of interstellar swords and dreams coming to clash!
Additional Covers Offered: B Cizmešija)

Golgotha Motor Mountain is a hillbilly cosmic sludge Southern Gothic nightmare. It's about two brothers, Vernon and Elwood, two idiots who hatch a cosmically stupid plan to sell a celestial body from space as meth to unsuspecting racists so they can leave their illicit lives behind and start fresh in Cincinnati. A story that spans from the creation of the universe to the meth barn mountains of the Kentucky Appalachia to the golden age of Shōnen Jump.
The art by Robbie and Marissa is unreal. Comic art like you've never seen before by some of the best artists who've ever worked in the industry all lettered by Hassan Otsmane-Elhaou, arguably the most in-demand letterer working today. I can't even get into the art done by Nikola, who I feel is our silver bullet on this series.
Mark Doyle, Dave Wielgosz, Jake Williams, and David Mariotte (who got us in the door at IDW) deserve a huge amount of credit for taking a chance on a series that wants to challenge and entertain and be something really special. Our intention from the start was to make a series that is unlike anything published in the last two decades, and I think we've not only succeeded but have created something unique in how it approaches lore, history, memory, and fiction as a whole. They've given us something that very few get to experience in their comics career which is real creative freedom to tell the story we thought could never be published, printed, or articulated.
On a personal level, it is about a place where I spent my summers visiting when I was a kid. My grandpa and his brother were named Vernon and Elwood. My grandmother lived on a knob and I still know the feeling of going up and down the terrifying roads that bend through the mountains and the hollers. My mom still lives there. So it was unbelievably cathartic to return to this setting to co-write this story with Lonnie. I hope everyone with an interest in cosmic horror, Southern Gothic, and storytelling as an art form finds this series. It is a love letter from everyone's heart to things we've all loved, it has been a true collaboration between everyone involved and it has been a highlight of my life creating it with such incredible people.
Much love forever and always, I hope you enjoy Golgotha Motor Mountain, Matthew Erman

IN PERPETUITY
Story & Art Peter Hoey & Maria Hoey 208 Pages • $19.99 • TPB APRIL 2024
The Afterlife is just as the ancient Greeks imagined: an endless twilight where time stands still in perpetuity and shades have nowhere to go. For Jim, that means long shifts at a gas station, with only crossword puzzles and cigarettes to break the tedium.
One day, two criminal shades from Jim's past come to collect a debt. They've tracked him down for something he didn't know he had: the ability to cross back into the living world. It's a rare gift, and they intend to exploit it. During Jim's first crossing back into sunny California, he meets Olivia, who is dying on an Echo Park sidewalk. Pulling her back from the edge of death, he strikes a connection that will run deeper than either can imagine. Jim weaves back and forth between the Afterlife and Los Angeles, desperately trying to evade the criminals' plot. But he and Olivia are pulled into a web of deceit and murder that reaches across both L.A. and the A.L., and ultimately to Hades himself.
With a heady blend of film noir and Greek mythology, In Perpetuity reveals both the human capacity for self-deception and the endurance of love.

"To read comics by Peter and Maria Hoey is to immerse oneself in the limitless possibility of sequential art as a visual language." — Andy Oliver, Broken Frontier
