Image Comics And Syzygy Publishing Announce Action-Comedy ‘Moonshine Bigfoot’

by Olly MacNamee

Creators Zach Howard (Wild Blue Yonder) and Steven Ellis (High Moon) along with writer Mike Marlow, and colourist Nelson Daniel are the creative team behind a new four-issue ’80s set action-comedy miniseries, Moonshine Bigfoot, from Image Comics/Syzygy Publishing.

Here’s the synopsis for this fun looking comic book:

“In Moonshine Bigfoot, it’s Buzzard County in 1981, and Moonshine Bigfoot spends his days making a living while outwitting clueless cops, reckless rivals, and buffoonish Bigfoot-hunters. All is hunky-dory until he draws the attention of an Illuminati-esque cabal. With his partner in life and crime, Amethyst, our hairy hero is about to learn that some problems can’t be handled just by jumping them in a souped-up Mach 1.

Moonshine, muscle cars, and mayhem collide in this exciting new romp perfect for fans of Rick Remender’s The Scumbag, Sergio Aragones’ Groo The Wanderer, and Alex Grecian and Riley Rossmo’s Proof.”

Howard sums up the series:

“We set out to make a fun-loving satire of 1981-ish Americana, and stumbled into a beautiful, coming-of-age story. Give Moonshine Bigfoot a go and we’ll curl the toes right off your feet!”

Marlow added:

Moonshine Bigfoot is a goofy idea conceived on a road trip has turned into one wild ride (that isn’t what you think). Lots of fun, lots of crazy, and we can promise no one will ever be bored.”

Moonshine Bigfoot #1 will be out on Wednesday, April 16th from Image Comics/Syzygy Publishing.
