A Groundbreaking Dive Into Crime Drama: Mad Cave Studios Announces ‘Sanction’
by Brendan M. Allen
Mad Cave Studios has announced Sanction, coming May 15, 2024 from writer Ray Fawkes and artist Antonio Fuso.
This unique tale delves into the chilling realm of a totalitarian regime, with a vivid portrayal of the characters’ descent into the oppressive system they navigate.
Leningrad, 1987. A woman’s corpse is discovered on New Year’s Day. Hungover Detective Pavel Smirnoff hands off the case to his partner, Detective Boris Dimitrovich, hoping he’ll close it without fuss. Instead, Dimitrovich uncovers a connection to an old, unsolved crime, dragging them both into an investigation that puts their careers – and possibly their lives – at risk.
“I’m thrilled to present Sanction,” said Fawkes of the project. “(This is) the gritty, high-impact, never-seen-this-before crime book I’ve always wanted to write!”
“You know all those crime series you love to watch on streaming platforms?” added Fuso. “Well, this comic book is much better!”
A truly immersive visual experience for crime and horror fans, Sanction #1 drops May 15. Rounding out the creative team are colorist Dave Sharpe, letterer Emilio Lecce, and cover artists Dan Panosian and Ray Fawkes.
