Bad Idea Previews Two New Books Hitting Comic Stores This Autumn/Winter

by Olly MacNamee

With no prior fanfare whatsoever, other than an announcement today, Bad Idea are to release two new comic books at their destination stores this November and December, and we have been given previews for both.

First up we have Inebrio Horsefeathers by writer/artist Tony Millionaire and colourist Jim Campbell:

“Yo ho! Enter all those that would hear the tale of the sloppy platypus sailor, Inebrio Horsefeathers. Revel in his escapades of derring do! Marvel at his intoxicated adventures! Gasp as you learn of his fate!

In his “drunken take on Horatio Hornblower”, Tony Millionaire serves up an absurdist adventure that could only spring from the mind that birthed MAAKIES, THE DRINKY CROW SHOW, and SOCK MONKEY. Available here in its full and final form, INEBRIO HORSEFEATHERS IN SCAMPER JUICE, will complete any collection of BAD IDEA comics or comics involving indignant clams.”

Inebrio Horsefeathers is out on on Wednesday 22nd November

Next, we have The Destroyer from writer Mae Catt, artist Alberto Ponticelli and colours by David Baron:

“Erik Strominger has been in an accident. As a high energy physicist at the most classified installation in the world, there can be no accidents. Now Erik has a secret. Something is growing inside of him. The radiance of a thousand suns let loose a new force. He can feel it. He can even hear it. It says, “it wants to live”. And that its growing stronger. Strong enough to defy the laws of physics, to tear open reality, bleed out time. It tells him that he will soon be free. Radiant and free. That he will soon be beyond life and beyond death. But Erik knows his secret threatens the lives of those he holds dear and the powers he works for. Play dice with the gods and everyone loses. Can he contain it? Or will he allow it to emerge?

An explosive and heartbreaking story of rebirth in the midst of death, THE DESTROYER is a tour de force from superstar film and TV writer Mae Catt (Netflix’s Transformers) and Eisner Award winning artist Alberto Ponticelli (Unknown Soldier, Orc Island).”

The Destroyer is out on Wednesday December 20th
