Gambling, illegal booze, crime bosses, and a love story? How can you possibly go wrong? Well, you can’t, and this November Image Comics will launch MOONSHINE #13, with a brand new arch to go along with it. MOONSHINE, from the minds of Brian Azzarello (Batman: Damned, Faithless) and artist Eduardo Risso who brought us 100 Bullets, are back to pick up where they left off, telling the story of Lou and Delia and their adventures in the prohibition era.
Set during Prohibition, and deep in the backwoods of Appalachia, Moonshine tells the story of Lou Pirlo, a city-slick “torpedo” sent from New York City to negotiate a deal with the best moonshiner in West Virginia, one Hiram Holt. What Lou doesn’t figure on is that Holt is just as cunning and ruthless as any NYC crime boss. Because not only will Holt do anything to protect his illicit booze operation, he’ll stop at nothing to protect a much darker family secret…a bloody, supernatural secret that must never see the light of day… or better still, the light of the full moon.
Moonshine #13 hits shelves on Wednesday, November 13.
