and\u00a0artist Paul Tucker (Tet, Nobody is in Control<\/em>) team up for a hard-hitting crime thriller in the upcoming\u00a0Stringer<\/em>. This original graphic novel hardcover is set to release in April 2023 from\u00a0Image<\/span>\u00a0Comics<\/span>.<\/p>\n

In\u00a0Stringer<\/em>, it\u2019s 1983. Tournament tennis. A racquet stringer turned small-time drug dealer gets in over his head transporting a gym bag of cocaine across Europe. Carrying a half-million in narcotics puts him on the radar of every dangerous man on the continent. Whoops.<\/p>\n

“It’s difficult to find an artist as fearless as Paul. Just real go-for-it kamikaze energy,” said Kindlon. “The result is anything we do together has a wildcard element that makes every page a potential showstopper. Every storytelling trick that exists in\u00a0comics<\/span>\u00a0we give a spin in the pages of\u00a0Stringer<\/em>. Pair that with a story built for maximum fun, and you’ve got\u00a0comics<\/span>\u00a0gold.”<\/p>\n

This high-stakes crime thriller is the perfect read for fans of\u00a0Ozark<\/em>\u00a0and\u00a0Gunning for Ramirez<\/em>.\u00a0Stringer<\/em>\u00a0kicks off Kindlon and Tucker’s “Rabbit Hole” universe of high-impact crime\u00a0comics<\/span>.<\/p>\n

Tucker added: “Comic books and tennis<\/em>\u00a0could be written on my tombstone. That\u2019s a bit premature I hope, so in the meantime we have\u00a0Stringer<\/em>, a dream book that I\u2019m very excited for people to check out. Bringing Patrick\u2019s wide cast of offbeat characters to life in a globetrotting misadventure has been a joy, and I hope the fun we\u2019re having on the page has the energy of a five-set thriller.”<\/p>\n

Stringer<\/em>\u00a0hardcover (ISBN: 978-1534324886) will be available in\u00a0comic book shops<\/a>\u00a0on\u00a0Wednesday, April 19, 2023 and at\u00a0independent bookstores<\/a>,\u00a0Amazon<\/a>,\u00a0Barnes & Noble<\/a>,\u00a0Books-a-Million<\/a>, and\u00a0Indigo<\/a>\u00a0on\u00a0Tuesday, April 25, 2023.<\/p>\n

The digital edition will be available across many digital platforms, including Amazon Kindle, Apple Books, and Google Play.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n
