FIRST LOOK: MILKMAN MURDERS #1

Milkman Murders #1 will arrive in stores on Thursday from Dark Horse Comics. The issue is written by Joe Casey, with art and cover by Steve Parkhorse.

Here's how Dark Horse describes the issue:

"The most horrific of all Dark Horse's new brand of horror comics comes from the mind of Joe Casey and Steve Parkhouse, who exposed the absurd side of British suburban life in his collaboration with Alan Moore on The Bojeffries Saga, and later took on global madness in Grant Morrison's The Invisibles. Now the two turn their attention to the depraved American suburb, where a forlorn housewife faces facts about the American Dream. The unraveling of her hopes leads to unprecedented terror, heralded by a demonic vision from some twisted parody of a Norman Rockwell image as painted by serial-killing folk-artist John Wayne Gacy -- The Milkman."

Milkman Murders #1 will be 32 pages and will cost $2.99.
