Ed Brubaker And Sean Phillips Announce ‘Unfinished Tales’ Graphic Novel From Image Comics

Ed Brubaker and Sean Phillips have a new graphic novel coming out later this year from Image Comics called Unfinished Tales. And like their previous work together, this one is destined to be a hit. Think “Stephen King’s Misery meets The Talented Mr Ripley” in a contemporary and paranoid noir thriller.

Here’s more, plus a first look:

“Unfinished Tales follows Finnegan Blake, one of the most successful authors in the world. His best-selling books have even been made into one of the biggest shows on TV. But Finn can’t enjoy all the fame and fortune, because he’s ten years past his deadline on the last book in his epic fantasy series, and has no hope of ever finishing it. Until an old friend shows up with the perfect solution to his writer’s block. But as their secret pact turns dark and these writers’ egos clash, Finn will see how far he’s willing to go to get this final book onto the bestseller list. Most writers would kill for Finn’s life … will he?”

Commenting on this new graphic novel, Brubaker said:

“This is one of my favorite books we’ve ever done. I’ve always been fascinated by why people write, or in this case, why they don’t, and so I took the idea of writers block and ran into the darkness with it. Unfinished Tales is a deep dive into the world of writers and publishing, the pressure to succeed, and what that may cost you. It’s also a very fucked up thriller about egos and ambition, because it’s about writers.”

Unfinished Tales hardcover is out in comic book stores on Wednesday, 11th November and in booksellers on Tuesday, 8th December.
