Exclusive: Kelly Sue DeConnick, Sam Humphries, Natacha Bustos, and Josh Reed darkslide with sci-fi skatepunk series called Skate Ali

Posted on by 2 comments

We have the exclusive reveal of Skate Ali, a new five-issue comic series from Kelly Sue DeConnick, Sam Humphries, Natacha Bustos, and Dark Horse Comics! Skate Ali is a high-octane, genre-smashing sci-fi skatepunk saga about friendship, rebellion, and finding yourself when the world wants to knock you down written by DeConnick and Humphries, illustrated by Bustos, and lettered by Josh Reed. Skate Ali #1 will be available in June 2026 and will feature cover art by Bustos, Joe Quinones, Sweeney Boo, Emma Rios, and Jamie McKelvie.

Welcome to near-future Los Angeles—a neon-scorched city where skateboarding has been ruthlessly outlawed. But nothing stops Skate Ali.

By day, she’s just another student dodging detention. By night, she’s a rebel on wheels, an enigmatic loner defying the law on the Los Angeles streets.

But when Ali slams headfirst into the infamous world of underground skateboarding, she comes face to face with a crew of outcast skaters called the LA Skull Clan, and their masked leader, Skull Queen 9. Fueled by a magical force called the Rush, the clan pulls off explosive moves and defiant acts of resistance.

Faced with the opportunity to level up her game, but afraid of actually being perceived by others, Ali must decide: will she play it safe, or kickflip straight into a revolution?

Drop into your local comic shop and pre-order Skate Ali #1 (of 5) before it hits shelves on June 10, 2026 for $4.99.

Exclusive: Get a look at the New Illustrated Edition of Lord Dunsany’s 1905 Fantasy Classic The Gods of Pegana

Posted on by Leave a comment

First published in 1905, Lord Dunsany’s The Gods of Pegana is one of the most important and influential works of modern fantasy literature. The groundbreaking, imaginative novel introduced readers to a pantheon of unforgettable gods and a rich new mythology that would inspire HP Lovecraft, J.R.R Tolkien, Ursula K Leguin, and generations of fantasy and science fiction creators. Now Denver’s Wig Shop, a prestige publisher and purveyor of independent comics and art books is collaborating with artist Dustin Holland on a hallucinatory visualization of Dunsany’s kaleidoscopic cosmic fancies featuring full-color paintings on every page. The 7X10, 139-page deluxe paperback is coming soon to Kickstarter. 

Drawing inspiration from medieval illuminated manuscripts, the work of Leonora Carrington, Max Ernst, The Fleischer Brothers, and cartoonists like Gary Panter, Marc Bell and Julie Doucet – Holland vividly illustrates all 130+ pages of this classic tome with a contemporary outsider-art flair. Each chapter features a full-page painting, and every page features painted borders that are as decorative as they are illustrative. 

Check out an exclusive preview of some of the art from the book and make sure to not miss out when it launches on Kickstarter!
