Following a cryptic countdown over the past week from Declan Shalvey (“Moon Knight,” “Injection”), Image Comics has announced a new survival horror graphic novel from the writer/artist entitled “Bog Bodies.” Set for a March 2020 release, the book centers around an Irish gangster fleeing after a job goes sideways, and a young woman trapped in the desolate Dublin mountains. Both characters are injured and unarmed, and attempting to evade their pursuers while navigating the bog that has “served as burial grounds for unspeakable murder throughout history.”

Shalvey is joined on the project by artist Gavin Fullerton (“Bags or a Story Thereof”) colorist Rebecca Nalty (“Backstagers: Valentine’s Intermission,” “GLOW”), letterer Clayton Cowles (“Zero,” “The Wicked + The Divine”), and editor Heather Antos (“Injection,” “X-Men ‘92”). The project marks Shalvey’s second writing project at Image, after “Savage Town.”

“Bog Bodies” will be available on March 4th, 2020 in comic book stores and on digital platforms, and March 10th, 2020 in all bookstores. A website for the project can be found at www.bogbodiesgn.com.
