SAN DIEGO, CA (July 21, 2018) \u2013\u00a0David and Maria Lapham<\/strong>, the creative legends behind the long-running, Eisner Award-winning comic book series\u00a0Stray Bullets<\/em>, bring\u00a0Lodger<\/em><\/strong>, a brutal psychological thriller, to\u00a0Black Crown<\/strong>, IDW\u2019s creator-owned imprint for fiercely independent voices. Debuting in October,\u00a0Lodger<\/em>\u00a0is a pulse-pounding game of cat-and-mouse through roadside America between a vengeful young woman and the serial killer who ruined her life.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen it comes to crime fiction in any medium, one name remains unparalleled,\u201d says editor\u00a0Shelly Bond<\/strong>. \u201cThe Laphams bring over twenty years of blood, guts, and glory to Black Crown with this lurid tale of lust, secret identities, and sweet revenge.”<\/p>\n

Lodger<\/em>\u00a0follows a handsome drifter who murders his way through the Midwest while hiding in plain sight as a travel blogger using the alias \u201cLodger.\u201d With an almost supernatural ability to change appearance, he leaves families in shreds and body bags in his wake. He\u2019s pursued across the country by Ricky Toledo, a teenager who fell hard for the mysterious stranger years ago when he rented a small room in her home \u2013 right before he killed her mother and framed her father.<\/p>\n

Co-writer Maria Lapham adds, “David and I rarely have time to work on stories that don\u2019t fit into\u00a0Stray Bullets<\/em>\u00a0continuity, but Shelly Bond and Ricky Toledo had other ideas.\u00a0Lodger<\/em>\u00a0is a twisted love story \u2013 dark and grimy \u2014 like all the best crime noir. We can\u2019t wait for readers to see it.”<\/p>\n

Cutting right into the broken soul of America,\u00a0Lodger<\/em>\u00a0joins Black Crown\u2019s expanding library of celebrated, creator-owned titles including:\u00a0Kid Lobotomy<\/em>\u00a0by Peter Milligan and Tess Fowler,\u00a0Assassinistas<\/em>\u00a0by Tini Howard and Gilbert Hernandez,\u00a0Punks Not Dead<\/em>\u00a0by David Barnett and Martin Simmonds,\u00a0Euthanauts<\/em>\u00a0by Tini Howard and Nick Robles,\u00a0House Amok<\/em>\u00a0by Christopher Sebela and Shawn McManus, and the anthology series\u00a0Black Crown Quarterly<\/em>.<\/p>\n
