BOOM! Studios announced the first arc of the epic post-apocalyptic series collection, ONCE UPON A TIME AT THE END OF THE WORLD VOL 1 SC, will be available in bookstores in June 2023. New York Times bestselling, Eisner and Harvey Award-winning writer Jason Aaron (Thor, The Avengers, Southern Bastards) along with Eisner Award-winning artist Alexandre Tefenkgi (The Good Asian) with colorist Lee Loughridge (The Good Asian), and highly acclaimed artist Nick Dragotta (East of West, Ghost Cage) with Rico Renzi (GRIM), and letterer AndWorld Design – take on a vision of the end of the world that’s brutal and nostalgic, whimsical and grounded… and ultimately, timeless.
In this decades-spanning post-apocalyptic tale, Maceo and Mezzy have never met anyone like each other, and they’ll need all the help they can get to survive a planet ravaged by environmental catastrophe.
BOOK ONE: LOVE IN THE WASTELAND kicks off the first arc of this epic trilogy that spans a lifetime as the dark mysteries of a ruined world and their own stark differences tear at the threads holding Mezzy and Maceo together. As they endure the horrors of plastic tornadoes and frozen sludge, Maceo proves to be more than just a burden, and they make an unlikely connection. But to their peril… they might not be as alone as they thought… This first volume collects Once Upon A Time At The End Of The World #1-5.
