Join BOOM! Studios In The ‘Hunt For The Skinwalker’ This September
by Brendan M. Allen
Hot off the successfully funded BOOM! Direct Reserve Campaign, BOOM! Studios has announced that the Hunt For The Skinwalker single issue series will be available in comic shops beginning in September 2023.
Working hand-in-hand with Dr. Colm Kelleher and George Knapp, and incorporating never-before-seen new revelations, writer Zac Thompson and artist Valeria Burzo adapt the category-defying, godfather of modern day paranormal research non-fiction book, Hunt for the Skinwalker.
Inspired by one family’s confrontation with the unexplainable and terrifying. And what happened when they invited the largest scientific investigation of the paranormal to their ranch.
“Adapting the seminal paranormal novel Hunt for the Skinwalker into the comics medium is one of the most thrilling projects in my career. It’s an out-of-this-world true story that constantly builds to new heights and thanks to Valeria’s incredible storytelling on the page, it’s jam-packed with stunning imagery that will linger with readers long after they’ve turned the final page,” said writer Zac Thompson.
“I’m really happy to work with Zac on this project. The story is fantastic–it tells of a family trying at all costs to save their ranch from the frightening unknown,” added artist Valeria Burzo. “I’ve always wished I could draw a story about the paranormal. I have to thank Zac who has produced a formidable script that will allow us to better realize this project. I’m really enthusiastic.”
“Everything about the Gorman Ranch is unbelievable when you first hear about it,” said editor Jon Moisan. “But George and Colm did such a methodical job reporting on what was happening, it becomes undeniable that something is happening on that property. What is truly exciting for me is getting to work with Zac and Valeria to bring this seminal text to life in comics. Seeing, as they say, is believing.”
Expected September 6, 2023, Hunt For The Skinwalker #1 has a main cover by Martin Simmonds, with variants by Suspiria Vilchez, and Justine Florentino.
