Dark Horse Comics has announced a new graphic novel coming July 2023 called Lost Boy. Written, drawn, and colored by music video director Jay Martin, the graphic novel is a heartwarming story of a young boy’s journey of survival and remaining kind in the face of adversity.
“In Lost Boy,” says Jay Martin, “I wanted to create a different kind of survival story. Here, the main character discovers that what has always been perceived as his greatest weakness — his compassion and sensitivity — become his salvation. He learns that, sometimes heading in the opposite direction of where we think we need to go, is what gets us home.”
So what’s Lost Boy about?
After a deadly accident in the remote Wyoming wilderness, a young boy escapes alone. Stranded, freezing, and isolated, he struggles to stay alive as he attempts to find his way back to civilization. Along the way, through extreme tests of will, courage, and endurance, he discovers what it means to be tested, and learns the secret to survival isn’t always what you think.
You can preorder it now on Amazon.
