SAN DIEGO, CA (February 12, 2019) \u2013 Beginning in April, IDW Publishing will launch an all-new front in the War on Drugs with the official\u00a0Narcos<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0comic book series, an original story set within the continuity of the first season of the drama series, a Netflix Original produced by Gaumont.<\/p>\n

Written by\u00a0Ryan Ferrier<\/strong>\u00a0(G.I. Joe: Silent Option<\/em>) with art by\u00a0Vic Malhotra<\/strong>\u00a0(The X-Files<\/em>), the four-issue\u00a0Narcos<\/em>\u00a0miniseries introduces new dangers for DEA agents Steve Murphy and Javier Pe\u00f1a to face, while at the same time, El Patr\u00f3n must contend with a dangerous threat to his drug empire.<\/p>\n

\u201cI’m thrilled to take fans new and old into a deeper, unseen story from the volatile, teeth-gritting world of\u00a0Narcos<\/em>,\u201d says Ryan Ferrier. \u201cI’m even more excited to bring this to life alongside Vic Malhotra, whose immense talent and style will show us a new side of\u00a0Narcos<\/em>\u00a0— one with dangerously high stakes and a new, chaotic presence that will affect the DEA, the Cartels, Don Pablo himself, and all of Colombia.\u201d<\/p>\n

Vic Malhotra says, \u201cI\u2019m stoked that IDW and Gaumont selected me as the artist for this book.\u00a0Narcos<\/em>\u00a0feels very authentic, its brooding characters and gritty world. It\u2019s very important to bring that feel to the comic page, to inject it into the way things are drawn, the colors, the compositions. It’s been fun and challenging so far, and I hope readers dig it!\u201d<\/p>\n

Editor\u00a0Bobby Curnow<\/strong>\u00a0says, “The team behind the\u00a0Narcos<\/em>\u00a0series did such a fantastic job of bringing the audience into this fascinating world of power and deceit. Ryan and Vic have seamlessly integrated into this world and are bringing us a story that fits right into the larger picture. This feels like it could be an episode of the show while still retaining that unique comic book magic!”<\/p>\n

\u201cIDW Publishing is one of the most prolific graphic novel publishers in the U.S. and the talented and accomplished team they have assembled to create this\u00a0Narcos<\/em>\u00a0comic book series are heralded in the industry,\u201d says\u00a0Tim Stephen<\/strong>, Head of Legal and Business Affairs. \u201cFans of\u00a0Narcos<\/em>\u00a0will be captivated as they discover new ways to experience the real-life rise to global power and wealth story of the world\u2019s most infamous drug lords through this dynamic and engaging new format!\u201d<\/p>\n
