\u201cAn Unsolved Mystery with the Usual Suspects\u201d Gets a Most Unexpected Interpretation by the Acclaimed Animator!<\/span><\/div>\n

SAN DIEGO, CA (February 22, 2019) \u2013\u00a0IDW Publishing<\/strong>\u00a0is proud to announce that\u00a0Dash Shaw<\/strong>, the comic book auteur and creator of the celebrated animated film\u00a0My Entire High School Sinking Into the Sea<\/em>, will unravel an all-new mystery in\u00a0CLUE: Candlestick<\/em><\/strong>, a three-issue comic book miniseries launching in May.<\/p>\n

All of your favorite suspicious characters are back in this new brain twister based on the timeless detective game. The\u00a0CLUE: Candlestick\u00a0<\/em>miniseries is rife with puzzles, secrets, and lies, and everyone’s a suspect! Visionary creator, Dash Shaw unleashes his murderous imagination \u2013 and writing, illustrative, coloring, and lettering prowess \u2013 on the quirky, thrilling and mysterious world of\u00a0CLUE<\/em>!<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat a total honor and joy it is to play with the\u00a0CLUE<\/em>\u00a0universe. I grew up loving the colorful characters, the map of the manor, and the whodunit of it all,\u201d says Shaw. \u201cReaders familiar with my other work might be surprised to see me doing this, but when they get the comic, they’ll see it makes total sense… I’m having a total blast drawing this thing. The monthly serialized format will really help milk the mystery, so I hope readers will follow\/play along!\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve been a fan of Dash Shaw since his dynamic experimental work in the early 2000s, and his moving long-form stories like\u00a0Bottomless Belly Button<\/em>\u00a0and\u00a0Body World<\/em>\u00a0really blew me away\u2014it was incredible to see that kind of depth below an already-impressive surface,\u201d says Editor-in-Chief\u00a0John Barber<\/strong>. \u201cI couldn\u2019t be more excited to see Dash\u2019s mind and pen crafting this\u00a0CLUE<\/em>\u00a0story.\u201d<\/p>\n

Shaw\u2019s loyal fans will thrill to know that, in addition to his fantastic main covers for the series, variant editions of each issue will form a triptych of the iconic suspects and their murderous instruments, and illustrator\u00a0Jed McGowan<\/strong>\u00a0(Time in Nature<\/em>) will also provide a special incentive cover. For added value, each issue features extra-length story content and will feature brand new\u00a0CLUE<\/em>\u00a0game cards based on the comic.<\/p>\n

For information on how to secure copies of the\u00a0CLUE: Candlestick<\/em>\u00a0comic book series, please contact your local comic shop or visit\u00a0www.comicshoplocator.com<\/a>\u00a0to find a store near you.<\/p>\n
