Sylvain Runberg And Mirka Andolfo’s Contemporary Fantasy Graphic Novel ‘Under York’ To Be Published By Image Comics

French writer Sylvain Runberg (Watchdogs, Warship: Jolly Roger) and Harvey Award winner Mirka Andolfo (Sweet Paprika, Unnatural) are having their previously published graphic novel Under York  translated into English and published by Image Comics. A story of magic and witchcraft set against the backdrop of New York City.

Here’s the plot:

“Two universes—the mundane, bustling streets of a New York City that we know and its secret, magical counterpart known as “Under York”—collide in the destiny of a young witch on the run.

Alison Walker is a promising young painter in Manhattan. But she has a secret: she’s also a witch. Alison and her family belong to the world of Under York, a mysterious, underground New York where five powerful covens of witches have reigned for centuries. These families with their strict codes of life, practice magic as powerful as it is dangerous.

Once hunted and driven underground, the covens have not vanished—they’ve adapted. Today they quietly manipulate the world that once cast them out. Their vengeance? To steer the fate of the very society that tried to erase them. This is the world Alison Walker was born into. A world she thought she’d escaped for good. But some powers can’t be outrun forever… and sooner or later it will catch up with her.”

And here’s the preview:

Under York trade paperback is out in comic book stores on Wednesday, November 26th and book stores on Tuesday, December 2nd from Image Comics.
