OFFBEATS LAUNCHES IN FEBRUARY
Garden Knights Studios has announced a Feb. 27 launch for Offbeats, a four-issue series from Antarctic Press.
Here's how the book is described:
"Created by Tom Sacchi and John Ward, Offbeats is the tale of Jim, a lowly mechanic who flees to the Big Apple in search of a new life as a writer but instead finds himself caught between a hard-nosed police force and the mob. Jim must team up with small-time hustler Booker to save Booker's sister from the mob, and stay one step ahead of the police."
The book features artwork from Giles Crawford, colors from Dan Thompson and Lee Milewski and lettering from Henry Bajaras.
The unusual juxtaposition of noir storytelling with a distinctly Franco-Belgian art style was a deliberate choice, Sacchi said.
"I've had a love affair with the Belgian comic scene since I was a teenager. I just love
how the Belgian creators can use cartoony characters in very real settings, coupled with real life situations. I really dig this contrast."
"I love dark, moody tales set in this era, but I felt this was a well-trodden landscape," Ward said. "The challenge was to create something that hit all the familiar
story beats but somehow felt fresh, and I think the cartoon style really works in this instance."
"I try to only work on projects I enjoy in some way," Crawford said. "And jazz, gangsters and 1950's cities are all things I like to draw. It's a fast-paced, fun story."
