Eleanor & The Egret from John Layman, Sam Kieth and Aftershock in April

Aftershock Comics has announced a brand new series from writer John Layman, artist Sam Kieth, and colorist Ronda Pattison. Eleanor & The Egret is a slightly surreal tale of an art thief and her sidekick, a talking egret who gets just a bit bigger after each successful caper, as they embark on a escalating series of daring thefts of world-famous paintings, and dodge pursuers in an increasingly weirdly dangerous game of cat-and-mouse.

The fable meets surrealist romance is out April 5th.
