New Sci-Fi Graphic Novel ‘Mawrth Vallis’ To Be Published In… Martian?

Image Comics present a new graphic novel by writer/artist EPHK that plans to “take readers on a pulse-pounding, sci-fi journey through Mars’ mysteries,” this summer.

Mawrth Vallis clocks in at 128-page, and is presented in  full-colour and pocket-format. And all told in its original Martian language!?

What now? Please tell me more?

“[Mawrtha Vallis is] Inspired by my new found love for the storytelling format of Mexican historietas and my never ending adoration of classic ’70s European sci-fi narratives. I think anyone who’s into classic sci-fi adventure but also interested in new ways to discover it, would enjoy reading MV.” – EPHK

A must for die-hard, old school sci-fi fans then? And maybe platers of No Man’s Sky? Thats villa thing, right?

“During a skirmish with an opposing Martian faction, a fighter pilot disobeys orders to pursue a fleeing foe. Guided by her determination and curiosity, she is led into a dangerous chase through Mars’s forbidden valley where she will be confronted with the red planet’s darkest of secrets.

Marwth Vallis is a visceral, immersive experience perfect for fans of Jesse Lonergan’s Hedra and Rick Remender and Matteo Scalera’s Black Science.”
