‘Bursting With Gristle And Energy’ – Steve Orlando And Garry Brown Launch Crude At Skybound
by Olly MacNamee
Coming this April from GLAAD Media Award-nominated writer Steve Orlando (Virgil, Midnighter) and acclaimed artist Garry Brown (Black Road) is a new gritty revenge thriller Crude courtesy of Image Comics/Skybound Entertainment.
Killers once feared Piotr Petrovich. Now, they’ve sent his son home to him—in a body bag.
Haunted by his failures, Piotr journeys across Russia to learn what type of man his son really was, while hunting the bastards who killed him. And once Piotr finds them, they will learn to fear him once more…
Steve Orlando says:
It’s been an honor to work with Skybound Entertainment and Image Comics to bring Piotr Petrovich Bilibin’s exciting, tragic story into the hands of readers. The creative team involved in CRUDE has put together something vital, thrilling, bursting with gristle and energy. I can’t wait for you all to join us in Blackstone, a blood-rusted world never before seen, where grit and greed are the currencies of the day.
Garry Brown adds:
Visualizing the text that Steve has given me has been an astounding journey. Piotr Petrovich Bilibin’s path to redemption is just getting started, and I am excited to watch this project unfold.
Here’s a few preview pages to give you a flavour of the series:
