Bestselling, multiple award winning, master storyteller Jeff Lemire will bring small town evils to life in the highly anticipated Fishflies. This all new series written and drawn by Lemire—and which will first be teased to fans with a special Free Comic Book Day edition in May—will officially launch in July from Image Comics.

When a brutal and violent crime puts the life of an innocent teenage boy in the balance, it sets off a chain of events in bucolic Bell River, Ontario that will permanently change several residents’ lives. And as the manhunt heats up, a lonely girl named Franny Fox will form an unlikely friendship with a fugitive that leads them on an odyssey of discovery and redemption. Fishflies is a new tale of small-town surrealist horror that begins with a special extra-length debut issue.

Fishflies #1 will be available at comic book shops on Wednesday, July 12:
