Hi, hello, hey there!

Final orders are due this weekend for the first issue of my new Image Comics series SINS OF THE BLACK FLAMINGO, with the all-queer creative team of Travis Moore, Tamra Bonvillain, and Aditya Bidikar.

What does "final orders" mean? Well, the print run of a comic is based on advance orders, so the best way to support a book is to contact your comic store -- in person, by phone, or by e-mail -- to tell them you want to order SINS OF THE BLACK FLAMINGO. If they ask you for an order code, it's APR220081.

The cut-off for these orders is Monday, and the book arrives in stores on June 29th, during the final week of Pride Month (and the actual anniversary of the Stonewall Riots)!

SINS OF THE BLACK FLAMINGO is an occult noir series about a thief who specializes in magical artefacts. His latest job changes his world in ways he never anticipated and pits him against some of the worst people in Florida!

The series is perfect for fans of books like THE WICKED + THE DIVINE, DYLAN DOG, and classic HELLBLAZER, or shows like MIDNIGHT MASS, EVIL, and TRUE BLOOD,
and the book features truly stunning work from Travis, Tamra, and Aditya!

I wanted to tell a story with a queer antihero, a modern, complicated character with touches of classic pulp and sunny neon noir in his DNA. It's an ambitious, witty, sexy, beautiful book, and if you don't believe me, read the preview below, or see what these fine folks say about it:

"Be Gay Do Crimes as pure pop art. This outlaw occultist queer heist book goes for your throat, your heart, your groin and your wallet, and will leave you covered in glitter and feathers, absolutely breathless."  -- Kieron Gillen (ETERNALS, THE WICKED + THE DIVINE)

"A drop-dead gorgeous, funny and sexy book! Within pages you immediately know that Sebastian Harlow is the most exciting new character in years! Dripping with Wheeler’s wit and looking fabulous thanks to stunning work by Moore and Bonvillain, you’re going to want more immediately!" -- Chip Zdarsky (BATMAN, DAREDEVIL)

"A dense, chewy, satisfying read, building a fascinating world of intriguing characters, and every corner the story turned hooked me all over again. (Also, the art is gorgeous.) Recommended." -- Al Ewing (WE ONLY FIND THEM WHEN THEY’RE DEAD, X-MEN RED)

"A heady mix of righteous queer crime, shady occultism and rampant narcissism, all steeped in the wild, simmering madness of Florida. Writing, art, colors, letters: a perfect first issue." -- Jed MacKay (MOON KNIGHT, STRANGE)
