Dogs of Mars Press Release
Today, Image Comics releases the sci-fi/horror graphic novel DOGS OF MARS.
In the space horror series, Zoe is the swashbuckling captain of Earth’s first Martian colony. Isolated on the farthest frontier of civilization, order breaks down when nocturnal monsters invade. Zoe faces mutiny, death and dishonor; she must sacrifice her humanity if she hopes to survive.
“We take you to the edge of the future and find that people haven’t changed all that much. Things go ‘Lord of the Flies’ pretty quickly and these characters discover who their friends and enemies really are,” says Tony Trov.
The unique art style of Paul Maybury helps bring the gruesome story to life. Johnny Zito comments, “Paul’s designs are very industrial with Japanese gore splattered about. His vision of the monster is a grotesque, alien twist on the classic werewolf.”
DOGS of Mars is available for purchase through Amazon and your local comic shop.
