THE BACKSTAGERS HALLOWEEN INTERMISSION
BOOM! Studios has announced an October release for The Backstagers Halloween Intermission #1, a special from series creators James Tynion IV and Rian Sygh, along with guests Sam Johns, Shan Murphy, Abby Howard and Savanna Ganucheau.
Here's how BOOM! describes the book:
"With the days getting shorter and the nights getting spookier, the Backstagers are back for the Halloween season with all-new tales of terrors and creepy creatures. When Sasha accidentally falls asleep backstage, he ends up locked in the theater overnight! What lurks in the shadows, what terrors will he discover, and what the heck are the stage managers chanting? With back-up stories spotlighting your favorite Backstagers, this spine-tingling tale of the stage will leave you with goosebumps you can see from the back row!"
"A year back, Rian and I talked about how we might be able to continue to visit the world we had created in The Backstagers. We had the thought that we'd bring the sweet boys of the St. Genesius Stage crew back with a couple of oversized specials," Tynion said.
"The first came out on Valentine's Day, and let us delve into one of the core pillars of the series, the powerful love and friendship between our characters. But the second was always the one I was most excited about. The Halloween Intermission issue lets us expand the spookiest mythology behind the St. Genesius theater, to tell a genuinely frightening story that captures the heart and soul of the book and these sweet boys."
"I was so excited when James and I were coming up with this story, I love our characters so much and I was so pleased when we decided to give the Stage Managers their time to shine since they didn't get much opportunity in the first series," Sygh said. "I'm mostly excited about drawing a lot of Halloween nonsense since its one of my favorite holidays. It's been especially interesting seeing other people's art for the back-up stories. Collaborating with these incredibly talented cartoonists has been a dream, and makes me feel like The Backstagers have a lot more stories to explore than I could ever draw on my own!"
The book features a main cover by Sygh and a variant cover by Veronica Fish.
