LOS ANGELES, CA (October 29, 2018)\u00a0<\/strong>\u2013 \u2013 BOOM! Studios today unveiled a first look at\u00a0THE SONS OF EL TOPO VOLUME ONE: CAIN<\/strong>, a hardcover original graphic novel, available in December 2018, from legendary filmmaker Alejandro Jodorowsky (The Holy Mountain<\/em>) and virtuosic illustrator Jos\u00e9 Ladr\u00f6nn (Incredible Hulk<\/em>) that continues the 1970 Mexican Acid Western film written, scored, directed by and starring Alejandro Jodorowsky himself.<\/p>\n

The merciless gunslinger El Topo has abandoned his pursuit of ultimate gun mastery to find enlightenment in the unlikeliest of places and is forever transformed, becoming a holy vessel imbued with the power to perform miracles and cheat death. But just as he gains sainthood, tragedy strikes as his community of outcasts is murdered before his eyes and his long-abandoned\u00a0Hijo<\/em>, Cain, returns to kill the father who discarded him many years ago.<\/p>\n

Fueled by resentment but unable to strike his saintly father, Cain instead vows to hunt down his half-brother Abel, leading to an astonishing quest in\u00a0THE SONS OF EL TOPO VOLUME ONE: CAIN<\/strong>, featuring a haunting cover by Jos\u00e9 Ladr\u00f6nn, and continuing the legend in graphic novel format.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe son becomes the father in this new chapter of El Topo\u2019s saga as we follow Cain\u2019s journey through the same desert wastelands and twisted mental landscapes that Jodorowsky built for us in the original film. Longtime devotees and new fans alike will love to explore this world with Jodorowsky and Ladr\u00f6nn at the helm,\u201d said Sierra Hahn, Executive Editor, BOOM! Studios.<\/p>\n

THE<\/strong>\u00a0SONS OF EL TOPO VOLUME ONE: CAIN<\/strong>\u00a0is the latest release from BOOM! Studios\u2019 ambitious Archaia imprint, home to graphic novels such as the Eisner Award-winning\u00a0Mouse Guard<\/em>\u00a0by David Petersen; the Eisner Award-winning\u00a0The Realist<\/em>\u00a0by Asaf Hanuka; the Eisner Award-nominated\u00a0The Killer<\/em>\u00a0by Matz and Luc Jacamon; and licensed series like Jim Henson\u2019s\u00a0The Power of the Dark Crystal\u00a0<\/em>and Jim Henson\u2019s\u00a0Labyrinth: Coronation.<\/em><\/p>\n

Print copies of\u00a0THE SONS OF EL TOPO VOLUME ONE: CAIN<\/strong>\u00a0will be available for sale on December 19th at local comic book shops (use\u00a0comicshoplocator.com<\/a>\u00a0to find the nearest one), at bookstores on December 25th, or at the BOOM!
