On March 23, Image Comics releases “The Rattler,” an original graphic novel from Jason McNamara and Greg Hinkle. The book, inspired by actual events that happened to McNamara, is a psychological thriller chillingly brought to life by “Airboy” artist Hinkle. The fine folks at Image have been kind enough to give us an exclusive first look at the sketchbook for “The Rattler,” featuring more of Hinkle’s amazing artwork. If you want to read more about “The Rattler,” check out our interview with the creative team from earlier this year.

Written by Jason McNamara
Illustrated by Greg HinkleTen years have passed since Stephen Thorn’s fiancée vanished without a trace, and he has grown into a prominent, if bitter, victim’s rights crusader. Despite the cold trail and lack of leads, he stubbornly refuses to give up the search. And then…he begins to hear her voice in the strangest of places. Pursued by his own organization and questioning his sanity, Stephen embarks on a grisly journey to save his long-lost love. As he unravels the truth of her disappearance, the body count rises and Stephen finds himself ensnared in a trap that had been set for him long ago.
