BOOM! Studios has announced King of Nowhere, an original five-issue series from Eisner Award-nominated writer W. Maxwell Prince (Ice Cream Man) and artist Tyler Jenkins (Grass Kings), colorist Hilary Jenkins (Black Badge), and letterer AndWorld Design (Martian Manhunter). This thriller exploring the miraculous, the mundane, and all the mysteries in between, hits shelves in March 2020.

Lovable, drunken lowlife Denis awakens on the outskirts of a mysterious village called Nowhere, home to a friendly populace of deformed, mutated, just-left-of-normal citizens– and he has no memory of where or who he is. But just when Denis starts to regain his memories, his past catches up to him… literally. What at first seems like merely a bad trip quickly heightens into a drama of mistaken identities, small town conspiracy, and high stakes fantasy fulfillment.

“I’m incredibly happy to bring to market the most important comic about mutants to be published next year,” said Prince, whose credits also include One Week in the Library and The Electric Sublime. “How exciting that everyone can finally join me, Tyler, and Hilary in the middle of Nowhere.”

“You ever have one of those days where you stand in the morning, vaguely connected to the events that have, moments ago, ceased being the present, and watch the sunrise, then spend that day adrift without the anchor of sleep? That’s King of Nowhere – a stop motion story; one day to the next, one pose to the next. Each pose, each day, hopefully driving forward the life of your story or the story of your life,” Jenkins, best known for his work on the critically acclaimed series Grass Kings and Black Badge, added.

“King of Nowhere takes the absurdist imagination of Ice Cream Man and the visceral storytelling of Grass Kings and blends them into the craziest damn smoothie you’ve ever tasted,” said Eric Harburn, Senior Editor, BOOM! Studios. “W. Maxwell Prince and Tyler Jenkins, along with Hilary Jenkins and AndWorld Design, have built a fever dream of mystery, pathos, and heart, and we can’t wait for you to experience it.” 

Print copies of King of Nowhere #1 will be available for sale March 2020 exclusively at comic book shops or at the BOOM! Studios webstore.
