“Their child-rearing years had just begun, but their lawless years lay ahead…”

AWA have just announced details of their latest comic book series, neo-western crime thriller LITTLE BLACK BOOK from writer Jeff McComsey and artist Felipe Cunha, set to hit stores and digital platforms in March 2024.

Here’s the official solicitation info:

In this explosive new thriller, readers are introduced to Cole, a straight-arrow handyman who, alongside his pregnant wife, finds himself in the crosshairs of a ruthless South Texas crime syndicate when he discovers the little black book of underworld contacts that belonged to his deceased father, a career criminal from whom he’s been estranged for decades. Cole’s father believed the best thing he could do for his son was to stay out of his life, and he might have been right, but how far does the apple fall from the tree…?

Speaking about the series, McComsey said “LITTLE BLACK BOOK is about things we inherit from our father whether we want them or not.Sometimes they’re good things; sometimes they’re bad things. This is a story about one of the bad things.

He continued, adding “I feel very lucky to have found a pair of editors like Axel Alonso and Michael Coast who like my particular brand of small-town crime stories. Together, I think we make some good comics. It was also a pleasure to bring this story of gritty people in a shady desert to life with artist Felipe Cunha.”

Boasting covers by Francesco Francavilla, colors by Marco Lesko and letters by Steve Wands, LITTLE BLACK BOOK #1 will be available on Wednesday 13th March 2024. However, if you don’t want to wait that long you can feast your eyes on some preview artwork below.
