Heavy Metal’s Magma Comix announces the return of Amber Blake

Posted on by

Supermodel/writer Jade Lagardère is bringing her series Amber Blake to Heavy Metal‘s Magma Comix imprint, beginning with an all-new graphic novel in March 2021. Lagardère and legendary comics artist Butch Guice return with Amber Blake: Operation Dragonfly, along with color artist Dan Brown and designer/letterer Gilberto Lazcano.

Action and intrigue abound in Amber Blake , a modern sci-fi thriller that shines a light on the dark corner of human trafficking. A recent recruit of a covert agency dead-set on ending human slavery in all its forms, Amber is going to destroy everyone who’s ever hurt the people she loves.

Every issue of the first series sold out and were rushed into second printings, and this new graphic novel sees Amber take on a dangerous mission to Singapore, where the stakes have never been higher!

Previous graphic novels will be available soon at the Heavy Metal webstore. Also, the complete adventures of Amber Blake will be collected in one volume for the first time in June 2021, and made available at bookstores, comic book stores, and the Heavy Metal webstore.
