JACK RABBIT #1 DEBUTS AT 99¢
Booze. Broads. Demons... And Dead Kids.
Contraband Comics Explores
Supernatural-Noir In Newest Title.
September
26th, 2012, Tempe, AZ—Jack Rabbit #1 is an all-new
supernatural-noir thriller from creator-owned comic book publisher, Contraband
Comics. Set in 1930’s Los Angeles, the story follows ex-boxer-turned-private
detective, Jackson “Jack Rabbit” Quaid, as he navigates a seedy and
increasingly surreal underworld of the occult.
Available digitally in both a FREE 11-page
preview and a $0.99 24-page Standard Issue release, Jack Rabbit
#1 is Contraband Comics' newest release through their exclusive digital
partnership with iVerse Media. The premiere issue in a five-part limited
series
from writer,
Jon Goff (Spawn, Halo Evolutions), and artist, Jim Hanna (Philly) can be downloaded through the Comics Plus digital comic book app for iOS, Android and desktop viewing, HERE.
“Each of Contraband’s titles are a blend of
genres. With Jack Rabbit, Jim and I are
mixing a heavy dose of noir with a variety of elements from horror and the
supernatural to a touch of sci-fi and even a bit of a POP sensibility,”
Contraband Comics founder, Jon Goff said. “The end result, we hope, is an
experience that drags the reader through the muck of Jack’s life, but in an
occasionally cringe-worthy, ultimately entertaining manner.”
