Pink Midnight Presents: Barber Psychic

Clarence Adams is a small-town barber with a horrible secret: when he cuts your hair, he sees your future. But Clarence tells no one, and does all he can to keep the future intact. He works. He gets married. He lives a life. He lives the life he knows is laid out for him. Pink Midnight Presents: Barber Psychic is a brand-new horror one-shot from Paul Allor, Juan Romera, and Claire Napier. The second entry in the Pink Midnight Presents anthology, it continues the weirdness in the vein of The Twilight Zone, Black Mirror, and more.

Barber Psychic is the second story in Pink Midnight Presents following the silent one-shot The Butterfly House. Its premise is simple, but is used to plumb the complex depths of one man’s psyche. Clarence Adams is a small-town barber with a horrible secret: when he cuts your hair, he sees your future. But Clarence tells no one, and does all he can to keep the future intact. He works. He gets married. He lives a life. He lives the life he knows is laid out for him. Pink Midnight Presents: Barber Psychic follows eighty years in one man’s life, as Clarence tries to do what’s right by doing nothing, even as an increasingly uncertain future threatens to swallow him whole.

Not only can you get a copy of this brand new comic, but the first release in the series, a variant cover, digital commission and original art page from Juan Romera, and even X-Men Annual #1 signed by Paul Allor.

Pink Midnight Presents: Barber Psychic has about a week to go, ending on October 6th.

La Voz de M.A.Y.O.: Tata Rambo Chronicles the Fight for Tribal Rights

Posted on by

Image Comics and Top Cow Productions have revealed interior pages from the forthcoming original graphic novel by writer Henry Barajas, artist J. Gonzo, letterer Bernardo Brice, and edited by Claire Napier—La Voz de M.A.Y.O.: Tata Rambo—which hits shelves this November.  

La Voz de M.A.Y.O.: Tata Rambo is based on the oral history of Ramon Jaurigue, an orphan and WWII veteran who co-founded the Mexican, American, Yaqui, and Others (M.A.Y.O.) organization, which successfully lobbied the Tucson City Council to improve living and working conditions for members of the Pascua Yaqui tribe—paving the way to their federal recognition. Meanwhile, Ramon’s home life suffered as his focus was pulled from his family to the wider community, and from domesticity to the adrenaline of the campaign.

A resonant, neglected slice of American history, La Voz de M.A.Y.O.: Tata Rambo brings to life for the first time the story Barajas’ great grandfather, Ramon Jaurigue, a.k.a. Tata Rambo, and showcases his important cultural contributions.

La Voz de M.A.Y.O.: Tata Rambo (ISBN: 978-1534313637, Diamond Code SEP190069) will be available at local comic shops on Wednesday, November 13 and at bookstores on Tuesday, November 19.
