DON’T LEAVE THE TRAIL! Oni Press has unveiled a first look inside The Goddamn Tragedy #1 –  a gripping and entirely self-contained 48-page, one-shot graphic novella coming to comic shops everywhere on May 28th, 2025! The Goddamn Tragedy #1 returns writer Chris Condon to his Western roots as realized through the lavishly destructive painted artwork of fast-rising star Shawn Kuruneru with a vicious and vengeful account of one of the Old West’s darkest episodes. . . . from those that lived to tell it!

Ellen Janson is here to set the record straight about the highly publicized, oft-sensationalized journey her family undertook in 1846. Ellen sets out with her mother, Irena, and her father, Leo, on the treacherous road west in search of a better life. But when her father chooses to split off from the party, taking an untested shortcut through the mountains, can their small family survive the elements, the wildlife—and each other? Or will their journey become nothing more than another goddamn tragedy?

Featuring a star-studded selection of covers from co-creator Shawn Kuruneru, alongside illustrators Tula Lotay, Jacob Phillips, Jenna Cha and Oliver Dominguez, discover a doomed and disorienting vision of one family’s twisted descent into madness – only in The Goddamn Tragedy #1, on sale May 28th!
