Courtesy of Vault Comics, AIPT can share an exclusive preview of Godfather of Hell, out October 16th. The graphic novel is by Cavan Scott and Pius Bak, colorist Raúl Angulo and letterer Andworld Design.
“Two of my favourite genres collide in GODFATHER OF HELL: gangster noir and exorcist terror,” Scott said. “Brace yourself for visceral body horror, lashings of black humor, and moments of super-cool swagger brought to life by Pius’ neon-soaked art. It’s sexy, gritty and downright terrifying!”
Bak added, “Throughout my career I’ve explored various genres, but lately I’ve found myself naturally gravitating towards drawing weirder and creepier stuff. So was I thrilled when Vault approached me with a proposition to work on this unique twist of horror? And with Cavan freaking Scott? HELL yeah!”
So what are we in store for?
“Our guide to the ultimate criminal underworld is Dario, a mob enforcer who, after a fatal shooting, receives an unexpected business proposition from one of Satan’s lieutenants,” Scott said. “Hell, Dario quickly realizes, is just another racket, and if there’s one thing Dario knows, it’s how to work rackets. Can he play the Devil at his own game to save those he loves from eternal damnation? Or will he finally lose his soul?
Adding Bak, “GODFATHER OF HELL is funny and sad, very cool and creepy. I’m genuinely enjoying Cavan’s storytelling. On my part, from designing the characters to illustrating the covers, from sketching the layouts to inking the pages, working on this book has been immensely fun!”
Check out the preview below!
Dario Santini has lived a charmed life as an enforcer and debt collector for mob boss Niccolò Mechini. He’s had it all: respect, power, even the love of a good woman. But everything changes when he crosses a line and is shot dead on the sidewalk.
Waking up in Hell, Dario faces a future of pain and suffering… unless he can turn eternal damnation into a business opportunity. Neo-noir hellfire from New York Times Bestseller Cavan Scott (Star Wars: The High Republic, Shadow Service, Dead Seas) and Bram Stoker Award-winning artist Pius Bak (Eat the Rich, The Magicians, Stranger Things).
