Today, AIPT can share extended pre-launch announcements and cover reveals for new PALOMINO graphic novels by animator, writer, and director Stephan Franck. He’s back for its fourth and fifth volumes, complete with a significant time jump from the neon-soaked 80s to the grimy 90s.
Franck and his company, Dark Planet Comics, are returning to Kickstarter to crowdfund volumes 4 and 5 of the planned six-volume graphic novel series. The prelaunch page for PALOMINO Volumes 4 and 5 is now live on Kickstarter.
“As PALOMINO time-jumps 14 years at the beginning of Volume 4, not only do we transition from the club’s heyday to its twilight moments, but we also pass the baton from one detective to the next,” said Franck. “At its core, PALOMINO is about the impermanence of all things we wrongly assume will always be there for us, as a society, as a culture, and about how the only thing that truly remains is the moral fiber of individuals, passed-down from one generation to the next. “
PALOMINO: Volume 4 picks up with a 14 year time jump to 1995. The world has moved on from the unsolved Eileen Wilcox case, but Lisette — now 29 and going by Liz — hasn’t. Still a hard-ass, and animated by a profound sense of justice that often puts her at odds with the world, Liz is a bit of a misfit who hates this new fangled thing called “e-mail”, doesn’t own a cell phone, and writes for one of the Valley’s free weeklies. But when a routine assignment reopens old wounds and Liz takes it upon herself to revisit the case her father was never able to close, she finds herself entering a world of deception and danger — and the only way out is through.
Check out the covers to Vol. 4 and Vol .5 below.
