THE LIFE AND DEATH OF THE BRAVE CAPTAIN SUAVE, the latest release from SCOUT COMICS, is a modern-day retelling of Don Quixote, in which a homeless man imagines himself a Golden Age–style superhero and drags a skeptical young drug addict on a series of adventures.
This series is by the creative team of writer Joseph Sieracki (A Letter to Jo) and artist Kelly Williams (The Dark, Creepy, A Letter to Jo, Bountiful Garden) is set in Cleveland is loosely based on the satirical, metatextual plot of Cervantes’s classic, as a homeless man first losses his job and then his family, driving him into a vagrant state of disillusionment and comic book fantasy. Yet his actions will leave readers questioning who is really crazy. Is it so insane to want to help people, or does the true madness lie with those who see suffering and choose to look the other way?
In a press release from Scout Comics, the creative duo said about the series:
“With a dedicated commitment to telling original creator-owned and character-driven stories, Scout Comics is the perfect publisher for THE LIFE AND DEATH OF THE BRAVE CAPTAIN SUAVE. Our entire team cannot wait to share the beautiful madness and misadventures of Captain Suave with readers everywhere!”
