SDCC 205: Stephanie Williams and Letizia Cadonici Unearth Roots of Madness at Ignition Press

Posted on by

Writer Stephanie Williams teams with artist Letizia Cadonici team for a brand-new cosmic horror comic book series entitled Roots of Madness at Ignition Press. The publisher will preview the series during Comic-Con International in San Diego (SDCC) at the previously announced boutique pop-up, the Ignition Press Room, in the Gaslamp District.

At the turn of the 20th century, a young Black woman named Etta Knight picks up the tradition of her late mother for creating special medicines using natural ingredients and secrets passed down from generation to generation. Her mother has passed on a book of recipes and formulas, but it’s also full of strange symbols and dark musings that she doesn’t quite understand…

Inspired by the life of Madame CJ Walker, this alternate history combines tradition with the supernatural for something truly modern and unique.

Roots of Madness marks Stephanie Williams’ first original print comic series and her first collaboration with artist Letizia Cadonici. The series will also feature color by Alessandro Santoro and lettering by AndWorld Design. Each issue will boast breathtaking covers by Juliet Nneka.

Fans attending Comic Con International in San Diego can get a special sneak peek at Roots of Madness by visiting the Ignition Press Room in the Gaslamp District (643 G Street). Additionally, Ignition Press will debut exclusive Roots of Madness merchandise on sale for the first time including an art print, premium canvas tote, and two types of scented hair gloss (in collaboration with Black Phoenix Alchemy Lab). As previously announced, Stephanie Williams will be in attendance for scheduled signings.
