June 13th is Dalrymple Day – When Image Comics Publishes Both 'Proxima Centauri' AND 'It Will All Hurt'
Image Comics solicitations for June 2018 will drop tomorrow, but they'll want to make a fuss about some of their offeroings before then.
Such as cartoonist Farel Dalrymple releases two very different companions to her hit comic book The Wrenchies this June: the first issue of the miniseries Proxima Centauri announced at Image Expo, and a paperback collection of It Will All Hurt.
Proxima Centauri is a psychedelic science fantasy action comic book drama that follows one of the protagonists of The Wrenchies: teenage wizard adventurer Sherwood Breadcoat. Sherwood is currently stuck on Proxima Centauri, a manufactured dimensional sphere 4.243 light-years from Earth. He's on the prowl for an escape from its confounding spectral zone—and for a way back to his brother—but he also has to deal with his confusing emotions, alien creatures, and all sorts of unknown, fantastic dangers.
"I wanted Proxima Centauri to be a fun action comic with a protagonist who is an entitled, self-centered, whiney, and unwittingly powerful (privileged) teenager frustrated by the world around him," said Dalrymple. "Sherwood feels isolated, lonely, and powerless to stop himself from repeating the same mistakes over and over, while failing to see all the beauty of his surroundings and the love of his friends. It's all about enjoying the journey instead of anticipating the destination."
It Will All Hurt also takes place in the same world as The Wrenchies. Alemendra Clementine and her crew of anti-social adventurers must come together to take down an evil wizard in this weird, sad, silly, sketchy, dreamy watercolor fantasy action quest. This new paperback edition collects the entire Eisner-nominated webcomic, plus all-new, never-before-seen material.
"Inspired by the Moebius short story Absoluten Calfeutrail, I started It Will All Hurt as a stream-of-consciousness exercise and a way to get some quick unfiltered comics out while working on The Wrenchies," said Dalrymple. "It was the most fun I have ever had making comics."
Proxima Centauri#1 and It Will All Hurt are both published in comic stores on Wednesday, June 13th. Maybe they could rechristen it Dalrymple Day?
It Will All Hurt will then arrive in bookstores on Tuesday, June 19th.
