Pitching itself as “Betty Draper meets Hannibal”, Lady Killer – a new series from Dark Horse Comics coming your way in January – introduces us to Josie Schuller, a housewife living a violent double life.  Coming from the minds of writer Jamie S. Rich and artist Joelle Jones, the five-part series takes great pleasure in contrasting the saccharine imagery of the early 60’s with the brutality and drama of the world of the ‘hired killer’.   Take a look at some preview artwork below, and keep your eyes glued to the page in the near future for an exclusive interview with both of the series’ creators.

“[Jones] varies her style to suit the mood of each piece, and the results can be spellbinding.”—Powell’s Books
