Bollywood body horror meets erotic fiction in writer Aditya Bidikar’s debut series with rising star artist SOM (Crocodile Black) titled, In Your Skin. This twisted four-issue miniseries is set to launch in April from Image Comics.

Popverse revealed an exclusive first look at the series yesterday.

The series will also feature eye-popping variant covers by superstar artists Maria Llovet (Crave, Artificial), Tula Lotay (Supreme: Blue Rose), Anand RK (Blue in Green), and more.

“In Your Skin combines my love for body horror and my fascination with the glamorous world of Bollywood,” said Bidikar. “Backed by the incredible Tiny Onion team, Som and I are thrilled to present a story that’s never been seen before in comics.”

Priyanka is a Bollywood uber-fan who has been obsessed with film star Ayesha Sen since she was a kid—she’s watched her movies over and over, and knows her dances beat for beat. But after a once-in-a-lifetime chance to meet her idol goes awry, and Ayesha announces her impending retirement from movies, Priyanka decides that if Ayesha isn’t going to live the life she’s supposed to, Priyanka would be more than happy to take over for her…

SOM added: “In Your Skin feels like a mirror that refuses to flatter. Body horror is not just an adornment but a tool for the biography of mutating ambitions in the seductive world of Bollywood, pairing the mundane with the grotesque. To have Tiny Onion back the project was massively reassuring! Hope this book scares and charms you in equal measure!”

In Your Skin promises readers an exploration of celebrity culture, identity, and image that’s perfect for fans of The Substance and David Cronenberg.

In Your Skin #1 will be available at comic book shops on Wednesday, April 22:
