Up and coming publisher Magma Comix continues to add to their impressive launch slate of titles by announcing details of GREASER, an all-new genre-bending series from dream team from writer and creator Darick Robertson and animation artist Stephen B. Jones, set for release this July.

Here’s the official synopsis:

Buddy is a Greaser, living in Earth’s future in the scorching Nevada desert, surviving by doing repairs on the spacecraft of the aliens that moved in decades ago: the Gemini.

Buddy and his Grandma live a simple hardscrabble life in a roadside diner, where he builds his dream car from scavenged parts and imagines what life would be like under the bio-domes of nearby Old Vegas. This quiet life is interrupted when a ruthless motorcycle gang leaves behind precious cargo in their yard. The owners want it back, and will destroy anything in their way!

Throw in a star-crossed love story and you’ve got the world of Greaser: Gemini Blues!

Speaking about the announcement, Robertson said “Venturing into a new area of my creativity, I am excited to be writing an original idea and work with my talented friend Stephen B. Jones, who is expanding from animation and into comics.”

He continued, adding “Magma is a great home for this as they too are venturing into new territory and are supportive of creators in a way that gives us the internal support we need to get a book published but with the creative freedom to try some new ideas and different directions. I’m hoping to take my world-building skills acquired from years of making and co-creating original comics and craft a series that is unlike anything I’ve done before.”

“Darick and I have been friends for decades and we have been talking about doing Greaser together since 2019,” added Jones. “I am so thrilled that the stars finally aligned so that he and I could collaborate together on something that we both have so much passion and excitement for! Every day I feel like a kid in a candy store with the crazy, inspiring stuff that Darick is calling upon me to draw! Hoping that fans will fall in love with the characters and the world as much as Darick and I have!”

Greaser: Gemini Blues # 1 debuts in shops on July 3rd 2024, and is now available for preorder on Diamond and Lunar.
