Dahlia In The Dark, the fast-paced, action, fantasy thriller, by Ringo award-winner and Eisner nominated author Joe Corallo (Becstar, She Said Destroy) and rising star artist Andrea Milana is coming this winter from Mad Cave Studios! To continue the run of new releases focused on the human condition, this season, the all-original mini-series is receiving a 1/100 exclusive variant from visual artist Francine Delgado (TNMT), available only on the Mad Cave website!
A washed up hitman, Donny Dahlia, takes one last job transporting a package cross country in the hopes of seeing his estranged daughter again. Little does he know this job is going to get him caught in the middle of a war between the fairy realms that could determine the fate of humankind.
“I was thrilled when Mad Cave not only reached out to me about writing another book for them, but that they wanted me to work on something that was in many ways a departure from what I had done with Becstar,” said Joe Corallo (He/Him). “Crime noir and urban fantasy are genres I’ve always found joy in, so to be able to mash them up and run wild with them was a real treat. And while this book is in many ways different from Becstar, it’s still filled with a lot of personal character moments and even more action!”
“At first I was a bit awed about working on Dahlia In The Dark, as it’s the very first comic book series I got the chance to work on!” said Andrea Milana (He/Him). “Regardless, I was so excited about it: the story written by Joe got me over the initial hurdle and got me so passionate about the project that drawing that world became almost automatic. I hope my work can convey even a little bit of that passion!”
